NUSH fever has hit Worcester in a big way as local people rally around to keep their favourite Big Brother contestant in the house.

Responding to a cry from the beauty's parents not to evict her, dozens of residents have offered their support.

The Evening News reported yesterday how Nush's mum Liz Shields had pleaded with readers to get behind the 23-year-old vegetarian.

Viewers are being asked to vote for either Nush or Cameron to be thrown out.

And while Nush is the favourite with the bookies for eviction, locals will be staying loyal and voting for Orkney islander Cameron.

"I think Nush is great and I would love to see her stay," said avid viewer Elle Gager, aged 13.

"She has a lovely personality - she is so bubbly and is always getting involved in things that are going on in the house.

"She's not one to just sit on the couch doing nothing and I think she's got a wonderful dress sense."

Elle's younger sister Phoebe, 11, is just as keen to see the blonde stay.

Lovely

"Nush is lovely and I would be sad to see her go," she said.

For mother Maria Roberts, the fact Nush is local is enough to warrant keeping her in the house.

"I have watched every minute of this series and I think it is really good that we have a local person on it.

"I would like to see her stay, not only because she is from Malvern, but because she has added a lot to the house and has made Big Brother enjoyable to watch."

Another viewer, who did not want to be named in case friends found out she watched the programme, added: "Nush is ace.

"It would be a shame to see her leave because I want to know if she and Scott are going to get it together."

Not everyone is behind Nush though.

Ella Bannister, from Derby, is all for Cameron, even though her boyfriend lives in Worcester.

"Nush is very nice, but Cameron should stay in.

"He doesn't go along with what everyone else says just because it means fitting in.

"He is his own man with his own ways and ideas."

Voting for the next eviction is currently underway and the decision will be announced live on Channel 4 tonight.
