She was cleary dissapointed when the news was first announced, but soon jumped around happily when her family and friends could be heard from the link to the studio. Not suprisingly considering her track record, Caroline was adored by the crowed outside. The cheers were loud, posters were waving and Caggy lapped it up! Just like Andrew before her, Caroline was shocked about the news of how fellow contestant Nicholas had done whatever he saw fit to escape nomination. When the evidence was presented to her she just said ""That guy used to follow me everywhere. He was talking about moving in with some of us"" Before she was whisked away by Davina she added ""He was obviously just working us""
