RAVING BBONKERS
Mar 27 2005
Contortionist, 2 randy OAPs, porn star, car thief, ex-tramp (err.. and 2 accountants) for Big Bro house
BIG Brother bosses are lining up the wackiest contestants EVER for this summer's sixth series.
A shortlist of 50 includes a contortionist, a female porn star, a convicted car thief and two frisky pensioners.
There are also two accountants - vying for the title of Britain's most boring man - a gymslip mum and an ex tramp.
A source on the Channel 4 reality show said: "We've got a right bunch of nutters, basically.
"They're a really varied group - from the very vocal to down-and-outs. The OAPs are hilarious and the female contortionist will bring a smile to the boys' faces.
"And the accountants could be the most infuriating stars ever - they really are dull people.
"Viewers can expect fireworks as these people won't get on at all."
Producers reckon the new stars will be more popular than previous housemates such as gobby Jade Goody and nasty Nick Bateman.
The 50 hopefuls will be whittled down to 30 in the next fortnight. And there'll be just 12 when host Davina McCall launches the series on May 27.
C4 bosses are banking on the series being a big ratings winner as ITV plan TWO rival reality shows at the same time - a second series of Hell's Kitchen and a new programme, Celebrity Love Island.
BB producers had to cope with an amazing 25,000 applications to be on the show.
A C4 spokesman said: "We are still in the early stages of the BB6 audition process.
"But we've seen some great people
