Then, we met my cousins friend who led us up to the house. First of all, Elstree Studios is huge. I didn't realise how big all of the buildings were! When we got to the set, we were in the corner of the crowd waiting to watch Emma record the 'live' promos (the crowd was already in at this point). The set is absolutely tiny. It really did shock me how cramped in the crowd were, but the eye stage is HUGE! After Emma recorded her promos, I actually got to meet her in the eye studio! She is just as stunning in person as she is on TV, plus she is one of the loveliest people I have ever met. We only had a short time to chat, but she asked me what was my favourite series was and who my fave celeb was. She really is just a lovely person.

We then stayed in the crowd for the rest of the show. It was a very lively show tonight - lots of cheers and lots of boos. You might have even heard me shouting 'Get Davro in!' or 'Get Bobby Out!' when the fake eviction was taking place. I hate to say it, but its hard to refrain from getting involved with the chants. I didn't join in with the 'OFF OFF OFF' chants though.

After the show had finished, I got to have a look in the live show gallery (not the main reality gallery). Its quite small, but there are a lot of screens in there! After that, we met Ben Hardy and I went into the camera runs. Yes, I have been in the Big Brother house. Its so strange! Its a lot smaller than you think looking through the mirrors, but its still quite big. We got to look around the different mirrors (including the secret room). Its such a weird experience seeing the housemates so close up without them seeing you. A particularly weird moment was seeing Stevi and Chloe sing into the mirrors while Janice was banging on the toilet door!

All in all, it was such a fascinating experience. I would do it again in a heartbeat.

That sounds like a good experience. Thanks for sharing. I really need to go to a live show on C5 one day. I only just recently found out tickets are free.

Great post! I've said that about Emma both times I've gone now. I managed to speak with her and she's just a genuinely lovely person.

Hi there, how did you manage to meet her? Is there any chance of a quick pic with her on eviction night if we turn up early you think!?!

The first time I met her because I left a completely different way to the audience and Emma was just leaving for Bit on the Side so I met her that way. The second time I was right by the stairs so I caught her a few times and spoke.

You wouldn't be able to get any sort of photos with her or of the set as you're required to turn off your phone as you go in. Even if you turn up early you all go in at the same time.
