A BRITISH girl aged four is fighting for her life after being sucked into a hot tub filter pump in Bulgaria.

Nicola Floyd, 28, was relaxing with little Isabella when the child’s bottom became stuck.

3 Four-year-old Isabella is now in intensive care where medics are battling to save her

Nicola fought to free her daughter from the swirling water but the vacuum was too strong.

Surgeons did two operations on Isabella’s badly-damaged bowel.

She is in intensive care in hospital in the Black Sea resort of Varna.

3 She and her mother were staying at the Admiral Hotel in Bulgaria where the tragic events unfolded

Nicola, originally from Waterlooville, Hants, was at the Admiral Hotel in Zlatni Piasatzi near where she now lives.

Shocked Nicola said: "I was sitting in one corner, and Isabella was in another corner trying to copy her mum.

"She started screaming. The filter pump had sucked her bottom. There was no lid on the filter. She didn't go under water. I was holding her.
