Grace Karla Adams Short (born 11 August 1985) is a dance teacher from London. She is a former pupil of private school Plymouth College.
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. She received 87.9% of the vote. Before entering the House, Grace appeared on a TV show called Senseless for MTV UK, in which her ex-boyfriend fooled her and sent her on a date with a cross-dresser. This was originally shown on MTV on 12 June 2006, four days before Grace's eviction from the House. 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, Grace was allowed to enter the Big Brother house for 21 minutes where she gave most of her attention to Glyn. On Day 86, Grace was evicted from the House Next Door. Grace was attacked outside a London nightclub on September 19, 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 Adams-Short shared a bed with Mikey in Big Brother but she was also in the dating MTV show Senseless. Grace was the picker in episode 1 transmitted on June 12, 2006. However, in October 2006, The Sun reported that Grace and Mikey were getting engaged. Grace, who claims never to have had to pay to enter a club, said that 'she doesn't go out on a Saturday as all the riff-raff from Essex' are in town. Grace Adams-Short's mother, who used to be a P.A. to Richard Branson, bought her a £340,000 flat in London's trendy Notting Hill. The Northampton Chronicle and Echo has a couple of articles about the father of Grace Adams-Short. Mr Adams, who used to manage Haircut 100 had left Grace and her mother, but Grace tracked him down. In June 2003 Karl Adams was at the centre of an 11-hour siege, with armed police officers surrounding his old house after he refused to leave his home. The second article is about an incident where Grace's father had been found guilty of harassing and racially abusing police officers. Before going into the house, Grace said that she was a party animal but that she 'wouldn't get her tits out' on Big Brother. On Big Brother's Little Brother Grace's friends Laura and Natasha said that Grace 'always has to be involved'. Grace had strong words against the new arrivals Sam and Aisleyne when they entered Big Brother in the second week, but in the outside world people were coming forward to criticise her. The Mirror had a Big Brother exclusive entitled Disgraceful, which rounded up a group of people attacking Grace, including Adee Phelan, stating: "Grace was dumped by David Beckham's hair stylist days before joining BB. Disgusted crimper Adee Phelan, 35, said: 'I wouldn't want to go out with her again. She's up her own a***.'" Grace told fellow Big Brother housemates that she and her mum, Alison Subena-Short, are both Leos (her mum was born on August 20th) and that they had heated arguments which meant they refused to speak to each other. The Sun has photos of Grace in the girl band, Millennium Punk. In a twist towards the end of Big Brother, Grace Adams-Short was one of the four evicted Big Brother housemates voted back into the series by way of the house next door. However the existing housemates chose Nikki to join them and once again Grace Adams-Short had to leave Big Brother. Since leaving Big Brother, Grace was hurt in a brawl outside the Astoria's G.A.Y club in September 2006. Grace said that she was trying to stop someone attacking her friend and instead she ended up on the receiving end. She was punched and kicked and burned with a cigarette. Grace Adams-Short was the winner of Sky One's show Cirque du Celebrite. In spite of a broken foot, Grace performed the High-Wire and the Advanced Hoop. Cirque De Celebrité fans voted for Grace and as the Sky site states: "the irony of the once despised Big Brother contestant becoming a queen of reality television is lost on no one". In an interview with Metro in February 2007, Grace mentioned that she would be doing a column for the next series of Big Brother and had been opening circuses. Grace was recently announced as the new face of Uncle Ben's Sweet and Sour to mark the Chinese New Year with her new 'sweet' attitude. On September 11, 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. On October 14, 2007 Grace married fiancee Mikey, who had also been in the big brother house with her. They are still together and remain the only couple to have formed in the house to last together for more than a year. |
