Imogen Thomas has reignited her feud with Pete Bennett and accused him of seeking attention from Nikki Grahame's death.
The pair have fired shots at each other since the reality TV icon died last year.
Ahead of the one-year anniversary of her tragic passing, her close friend has been talking about the star who lost her battle to anorexia aged 38.
She says Pete shouldn't have shared a haunting last picture of her - after claims he “cruelly betrayed” her memory and cashed in as he made her final text message to him public.
Pete, 40, says the much loved star gave him permission to post the image that showed her looking dangerously thin.
Pete and Nikki briefly dated after falling for each other on the Channel 4 show during series seven back in 2006.
They stayed in touch but Imogen was says they weren't friends.
On the final photo, she told The Sun : “He just rocked up at 1am with his girlfriend and took that picture. He only stayed for an hour.”
Imogen says Pete "went off on one" when she requested he take it down.
The Welsh beauty went on: "I’ve got loads of photos of Nikki on my phone but I’d never post them online. It doesn’t even look like Nik. He then decided to go on every TV show and talk about her and this picture was popping up everywhere.
“It wasn’t nice for her mum and the rest of her family and friends.”
Upset Pete previously hit back at Imogen and insisted he "didn't sell anything" - and that his tribute was "from the heart".
In a lengthy social media post, he set the record straight and totally denied he cashed in from Nikki's death.
He wrote: "In such a sad time of grief I’ve just had to witness Imogen Thomas trying to publicly shame me on her Instagram. You know, ‘Nikki’s best friend’. I’m sorry but how cruel can you get?
"Now, About selling the final text, I didn’t sell anything, my tribute to Nikki in heat mag was from the heart and for no money and I sent love to nikkis family and friends in it too. Contrary to what Imogen is saying, Nikki gave me permission to upload the final picture of us saying it was a ‘lovely picture’.
"I put a link underneath the picture of the fundraiser to raise some funds for her care so she could get better whilst Imogen was promoting McCain oven chips and sending me daggers.
"The only person who sent me any negativity at the time was Imogen whilst I was trying to do my best for Nikki and has continued to troll me ever since , but I kept it to myself and didn’t make it public.
"Meanwhile everybody else has been supportive to me. I may not of seen Nikki as much as I used to see her the last year but we were always in contact and when I found out she was really ill I did everything I could to b there for her.
"Imogen’s efforts at trolling me has gone too far now whilst I’m trying to grieve for Nikki and this crazy ownership Imogen thinks she has over (who nikkis friends are) needs to be stopped. I never claimed to be nikkis ‘best friend’ , but actions speak louder than words.
"Get over it Imogen, I was nikkis friend and leave me the f*** alone to grieve. Maybe you could do a nice tribute for her instead of lying about me publicly for attention.
"Anyway I’ve had enough of fake people and bullies. And I won’t be shamed publicly by this troll for being a good mate when Nikki needed support and will stick up for myself in any way I can, Love you Nikki."
