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.

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.

Famous quotes containing the word grace:
“No convention gets to be a convention at all except by grace of a lot of clever and powerful people first inventing it, and then imposing it on others. You can be pretty sure, if you are strictly conventional, that you are following genius—a long way off. And unless you are a genius yourself, that is a good thing to do.”
—Katharine Fullerton Gerould (1879–1944)
“The maelstrom of fatherhood is a chance to show grace under real pressure, to be cool despite the chaos of your son’s room. That’s something that’s worth a fellow’s time.”
—Hugh O’Neill (20th century)
“O, mickle is the powerful grace that lies
In plants, herbs, stones, and their true qualities;
For nought so vile that on the earth doth live
But to the earth some special good doth give.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
