A CLAIRVOYANT predicted Big Brother housemate Nush would become a TV star during a psychic session.

Yoga-loving Annuszka Nowak, of Malvern, known as Nush, went to spiritualist Julie Angel Trigg in around October last year for a tarot reading after applying for the Channel 4 show.

The reading took place at a clothes shop in Friar Street, Worcester, after Nush booked an appointment.

"I remembered her as being attractive," said Mrs Trigg, who lives in Old Wyche Road in Malvern.

"She said she'd applied to be on a television show and asked if she'd get on it. She was studying at the time."

So Mrs Trigg said she wasn't surprised when she discovered that 23-year-old Nush was on Big Brother.

"I saw her picture in a Sunday paper and as soon as I saw it I remembered doing a reading for her," said the 30-year-old.

Nush was told she was a successful student but something would interrupt that.

"She then told me she had applied for a television show and asked if she would get in it," said Mrs Trigg.

"She told me after the reading it was Big Brother.

"I spoke to a relative of hers in the spirit world who said she would get on the show, and some tarot cards said the same thing.

"Applying for the show was quite a big thing for her, and I was hoping I didn't get it wrong."

But Mrs Trigg - who does readings at roadshows and spiritualist churches in Worcester and Hereford - said she did not know if Nush would win the show.

"The tarot card reading said she would get other contracts off the show and get TV and promotional work," said Mrs Trigg.

- Today's Daily Mirror reported that Nush fled a religious commune in Bedfordshire days before Big Brother started, because the self-appointed guru demanded a cut of her winnings.

The student is said to have broken down in tears and admitted all to programme chiefs.

Nush's video profile had to be hastily reshot the day before the show started because it featured an interview with the guru.
