BOLTON Big Brother contestant Nichola Holt's hopes of winning the £70,000 gameshow were dealt a damaging blow today.

An estimated audience of more than three million TV viewers will see Nichola, 29, nominated by housemates for eviction from the camera-rigged home.

The textile artist, of Turton Road, Bradshaw, is one of two housemates selected. The other is Scouse builder Craig.

Viewers on Monday night saw Nichola confess to a crush on fellow contestant Darren, the bookies favourite to be overall winner.

Fans of the show will now decide in a phone poll whether Nichola or Craig becomes the fourth person of the 10 contestants to be evicted from the house.
