More than half of Big Brother's golden tickets are still to be found with only hours remaining until the competition closes.
According to Channel 4, 47 of the 100 tickets have been found so far - but only 18 have been officially registered with producers. The remainder are being given away by tabloids or auctioned off on eBay, where bidding has reached as high as £1,000.
Since the competition began a fortnight ago, the golden ticket hotline has apparently received dozens of calls from fans claiming they have a ticket but have mislaid it. Twenty people have claimed that their tickets have been stolen, hungry pets have accounted for another 'missing' ten tickets, while four claim that they left the tickets in the clothes, which subsequently got ruined in the washing machine.
The winners so far include:
* Tim Slessor, 28, a film and video editor from the Isle of Dogs in London, who was the first lucky Golden Ticket winner.
* Adam Pattison, 22, a home support worker caring for disabled adults from Bristol.
* Lorraine Harlow, 27, who hails from Weston-Super-Mare and is a mother of one.
* Vicki Ellis, 27, a barmaid from Epsom in Surrey who feels that going on Big Brother would be the experience of a lifetime.
* Mohammed 'Nad' Butt, a 24-year old self-confessed playboy who works for a celebrity and glamour model photo agency.
* Susan Carter from Plymouth who found her Golden Ticket after buying over 10,000 KitKats.
* Philip Colaco from Dundee and Deborah Dakers from Norwich who have both confessed to having bought their tickets on eBay.
The registration line closes tonight (Friday) at 10.20pm.
so will it be tonight one goes in
