Personal Life
At the age of 18 Grahame was given breast implants on the NHS, because her years of anorexia had left her flat-chested. In April 2007 Grahame revealed that she had undergone corrective plastic surgery on her breast implants in order to fix "ripples" left by the first operation. As a result of her eating disorder, Grahame has brittle bone disease osteoporosis, as her bones did not form properly and have been left permanently weakened as a result. She takes calcium supplements and has a diet rich in dairy foods to prevent it getting worse.
Grahame famously dated the winner of Big Brother 7, Pete Bennett. The duo's romance began in the last week of Big Brother, following Grahame's return to the show. However in September 2006 she went public with the news that Bennett had made the decision to end their relationship, just over a month after it began. Bennett told her that he found it tough having a relationship in the spotlight and just wanted to be friends. Grahame commented "I still want to be with him. Sadly he doesn't want to be with me. I will just have to accept that. I have to let go."
Grahame began dating Guy Mesigan, a part-time model and carpenter, at the end of 2006. They split in May 2007. In February 2009 Grahame was injured in a car accident; she suffered cracked ribs and needed stitches on her head. Grahame was in the back seat of a car and was thrown forwards when the driver braked suddenly. Grahame wasn't wearing a seatbelt, her agent said "There was blood everywhere. It was a nasty crash".

Famous quotes containing the words personal and/or life:
“I have enjoyed greatly the second blooming that comes when you finish the life of the emotions and of personal relations; and suddenly you find—at the age of fifty, say—that a whole new life has opened before you, filled with things you can think about, study, or read about.... It is as if a fresh sap of ideas and thoughts was rising in you.”
—Agatha Christie (1891–1976)
“Is life worth living? This is a question for an embryo, not for a man.”
—Samuel Butler (1835–1902)
