Grace
Grace Karla Adams-Short (born 11 August 1985) is a dance teacher from London. She is a former pupil of Plymouth College, an independent school in the coastal city of Plymouth in Devon.
Grace was evicted on Day 30, throwing a glass of water over Susie as she left, as Susie was the one responsible for putting her up for eviction, then calling Susie a "moose" and responding to Aisleyne's remonstrating with her by calling Aisleyne by the same epithet.
On Day 83, Grace was the first out of the selected ex-housemates to be voted back in to the House Next Door having received 8.4% of the public vote. To celebrate her 21st birthday, whilst in the House Next Door Grace was allowed to enter the Big Brother house for 21 minutes. On Day 86, Grace was evicted from the House Next Door.
Grace was attacked outside a London nightclub on 19 September 2006. She was reportedly repeatedly punched to the ground, kicked in the head and had cigarette burns to her arms. She needed eight stitches on her forehead, and she will most likely have permanent facial scarring from the ordeal. Grace claims the incident was unrelated to her appearance on Big Brother.
In October 2006, her engagement to Mikey, whom she had a relationship with in the house, was announced. In December 2006, Grace was crowned the winner of Sky One's reality television show, Cirque de Celebrité.
Grace was announced as the new face of Uncle Ben's Sweet and Sour to mark the Chinese New Year with her new 'sweet' attitude.
On 11 September 2007 Grace featured in an episode of Celebrity Brides Unveiled for Wedding TV which saw her searching for her dream wedding dress. She has also appeared on Big Brother on the Couch.
Grace opened her own performing arts school in Plymouth called "The Grace Academy of Performing Arts". This involves her teaching young children dancing, drama, singing and extra classes of musical theatre. She subsequently opened a second branch in Liverpool.
