NADIA Almada, the winner of this year's Big Brother, is coming to Southampton for Christmas.

She'll be appearing in Peter Pan at The Mayflower Southampton from December.

The 27-year-old Portugese bank clerk, pictured here on her winning exit from the house. was such a big hit on this year's Big Brother, thanks to her larger than life personality and outrageous behaviour that her career as an entertainer is taking off.

Given her love for the spotlight a panto stint this Christmas was almost inevitable and The Mayflower has the perfect role for her - The Mermaid.

"I am delighted to be involved in Peter Pan at The Mayflower," she said.

"It's a very exciting opportunity and I am really looking forward to working with all the cast and crew involved in the production. My mermaid costume is absolutely fabulous and I can't wait to get on stage and show it off!"

Nadia will be joining Paul Nicholas, who takes the role of Captain Hook, and Geoffrey Hughes who plays Smee.

Peter Pan is at The Mayflower from December 17 to January 23.

Tickets are priced from £12.50. For more information, call the box office on: 023 8071 1811.
