Northern Ireland's Big Brother hopeful today received unlikely support from the UUP's Young Unionist group.
Boob baring Orlaith McAllister is facing the boot from the Channel Four reality programme tomorrow night.
In what is being dubbed 'the battle of the stilettos' by the Young Unionists, she is going head to head with Kemal in this week's eviction process.
However, the Young Unionists are keen to save Orlaith from eviction and have appealed to the Northern Irish public to vote for the 26-year-old model.
Making their appeal to every household in Northern Ireland, Young Unionist Peter Munce today said: "While everyone awaits the pantomime theatrics of the IRA statement to unfold, this coming Friday, another drama takes centre stage - Orlaith McAllister is facing the boot from the Big Brother House.
"The Young Unionists want to appeal to everyone in Northern Ireland to pick up the phone or text to keep Orlaith in the Big Brother house.
"We must support our local talent - she might not be the sharpest tool in the shed and some of her actions have raised an eyebrow or two, but anything has to be better than Kemal.
"He is a two-faced, spiteful, arrogant, insecure wannabe cross-dresser, who started out being mildly amusing but is now supremely irritating.
"Just as the Ulster Unionist Party rallied to support Zoe Salmon following her difficulties on Blue Peter, so too do we rally behind Orlaith McAllister."
Meanwhile. Orlaith's mother Margaret said she can't wait to see her daughter to "give her a big hug".
