TV career beckons for Anouska

From the Echo, first published Monday 2nd Jun 2003.

BIG Brother contestant Anouska Golebiewski, who was evicted on Friday night, has been tipped for a glittering television career after her brief spell on the reality TV show.

The bubbly Bournemouth nursery nurse was the first contestant to be booted out of the Big Brother house with 45.9 per cent of the public vote.

She made quite an impact and was surprised to hear from presenter Davina McCall that she'd made the front page of more newspapers than Tony Blair, with her flirtatious behaviour and talk of sex.

Her seven days of fame began on rocky ground -when her loud first night behaviour was badly received by her fellow contestants - many of who nominated her for eviction.

But by the end of the week the housemates had warmed to her and some regretted their nominations.

Given just an hour to pack her bags and leave, Anouska commented on her imminent departure: "I wouldn't lie and say I'm not shocked because I am shocked."

In the house Anouska, 20, had promised to bed Glaswegian waiter Federico in an attempt to avoid eviction and shamelessly stripped for a bath as housemate Cameron showered nearby.

A national newspaper said Anouska's antics had upset her boyfriend of four months Andrew Little and the couple were expected to be meeting for a crunch heart-to-heart. Andrew, 25, a recruitment consultant from Bournemouth, was outside the house to greet Anouska.

Before entering the house Anouska said she was intending to go to university in September to study child psychology.

Speaking after the eviction her agent Amanda Stocks said: "She was upset to leave so early but she's taking it all in her stride.

"She was very surprised to be out but this is not the end - it's the beginning for her.

"I don't know if she still intends to go to university or not.

"She has had a lot of offers."

Amanda added: "She is very appreciative of the support of the local people."
