Grace Karla Adams-Short (born 11 August, 1985), a dance teacher from London, was a contestant in the seventh series of the British edition Big Brother.
Career Before Big Brother
Grace is a former pupil of private school Plymouth College. Before entering the House, Grace was a failed pop star. She had also 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.
She also went to the Urdang Acadamy of dance for 3 years studying singing, acting and musical theatre
Big Brother
At the start of the series Grace was the bookies favourite alongside fellow contestant Imogen. However later on in the series Grace was labelled a 'bitch' and on the live eviction shows several people were chanting, 'Get Grace Out'. During the show Grace had a relationship with another housemate called Mikey.
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.
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.

In December 2006 Grace took part in Sky Ones reality TV show 'Cirque De Celebrité', hosted by Ruby Wax. Grace had to perform several Circus acts. At the end of the series Grace was voted the winner with 70% of the audience vote.
