A YOUNG inventor will have her work shown on national television tonight.
Nicole Bell, 11, from Darlington, has reached the last five of the Entreprejunior competition for inventors under the age of 16, launched by Channel 4's Richard and Judy show earlier this year.
Nicole's invention, the Poo-Pod, was chosen from thousands of entries.
The device is designed to revolutionise the chore of cleaning up after dogs.
Nicole, a pupil at Hummers-knott School and Language College, in Darlington, hopes her invention will lead to cleaner streets.
The finalists' inventions will be shown tonight, with Richard and Judy picking three to go to a public vote to decide the winner who will meet Richard Branson to discuss their ideas.
* The show will be broadcast on Channel 4 at 5pm.
