A HUGE banner suspended from a town centre car park in support of Redditch Big Brother star Steph Coldicott was slashed by vandals on Thursday night.

The 10x5m banner, featuring a picture of 28-year-old Steph, has sparked controversy ever since it was put up on Car Park 2.

Kingfisher Centre bosses, who spent more than £1,600 on the banner, applied for retrospective planning permission to put it up after being threatened with legal action by Redditch Council.

Steph has been nominated for eviction this Friday along with fellow housemates Cameron and Lisa. It is the second time Steph has been nominated.
