With Jon Tickle up for eviction from the Big Brother house for the second week running, the heat is on to keep Norfolk's home-grown contestant in the show. Phil Tickle, Jon's younger twin brother who says Jon is 'the only one in the house with character' has given his support to The Sun newspaper for their campaign to save Jon from eviction. We hope he stays in. It's not been the most exciting Big Brother ever, but I just think he's brilliant. I think Jon Tickle could win.

Speaking to Graham Barnard on BBC Radio Norfolk's breakfast show, the TV editor for the Sun newspaper, Sara Nathan said they didn't think anyone else was worth backing. "There's no other option. There's nobody else that you can back but Jon Tickle - he's hysterical. "If you watch him [on Big Brother] as I have been doing, talking about Pritt Stick butter and funny kinds of toasters and about how to pick his perfect match romantically-wise. "I think he said he could find his perfect woman by going on The Generation Game! You just don't get that every day!" she said. Phil Tickle has admitted to BBCi that brother Jon often says what he thinks and doesn't always think of the implications. However, it doesn't appear to be harming his growing popularity. Sara Nathan told the BBC's breakfast show: "People in their droves are calling Jon 'Tickle Totty' - you've got girls across England panting for this bloke!"  Housemate Justine is also up for eviction |
When asked if she thought Jon was likely to win, Sara said that you could never predict what will happen. "The bookies have got Justine as favourite to go, but it could all turn, you never know. "We hope he stays in. It's not been the most exciting Big Brother ever, but I just think he's brilliant. I think Jon Tickle could win."
