Survivor Charlotte tipped to win
![]() Trouble for the Helang tribe
Ousted Survivor contestant Uzma Bashir Sheikh has predicted that south Wales Detective Constable Charlotte Hobrough will win ITV's £1 million reality show.
The 30-year-old children's nursery owner has been kicked out of the programme's Helang tribe, one of two marooned on the island of Pulau Tiga, in the South China Sea. Meanwhile her fellow contestant Charlotte, 24 from Rhoose in the Vale of Glamorgan - who hit the headlines last week with news of her extra-martial affair with contestant Adrian Bauckham - has been tipped to win the show.
Uzma said that Charlotte had the ability to "win people over". "When you are there you get taken over by her but when you go away, you wonder whether there was something else there," she added. "She will definitely go much further down the line." She added the couple's affair kept the other members of the tribe awake at night. "One night I realised there was touchy-feely going on, but no grunting going on," she explained. "I was the first to find out about them because I was very close with both of them. I think the rest of the tribe members realised there was something happening. "Charlotte felt guilty when she was there, but sometimes things happen."
Unlike previous evictees Jenny "JJ" Adams, and Nick Carter, who were both sent packing for their bossiness, Uzma, from Watford, Hertfordshire, was forced out as her fellow contestants thought she could not physically cope with any further challenges. "I was happy to leave, it was my time to go and quite frankly, I'd had enough," she said. "I wasn't prepared to be party to bitching and slagging each other down." Uzma admitted to being a television "wannabe" who loved being the centre of attention, but said reality shows brought out the worst in people. "I didn't realise the factors that went into a reality show. I was too huggy and kissy, but I hope one of our team wins the million," she said. But Uzma added she would be less happy to see her tribe's Simon and Andy, who were "so desperate" to win, succeed. "I hope they don't get it," she said.
