Big Brother star Nikki Grahame has made a scathing attack on ex-lover Pete Bennett, claiming that he has "destroyed" her.

The contestant, known for her tantrums, told New! magazine: "Pete wouldn’t hurt an insect but he’s totally destroyed me."

"He’s made me feel like a piece of s**t, a horrid person," added the blonde.

The 24-year-old claims that Bennett dumped her by phone, using the age-old excuse: "I just need my space."

But the Tourette's sufferer then publicly labelled her "high maintenance" and "awful in bed" in a magazine interview, much to Grahame's embarrassment.

"I’ve struggled with self-hatred all my life," she lamented. "Now I’ve read the stuff him and his friends have been saying about me, I hate myself even more."

Despite their current war of words, she still claims to "love Pete unconditionally".
