Big Brother auditions turn into a damp squib

BIG Brother Nine is set to be a damp squib as Wales’ wannabes stayed away from auditions in Cardiff.

By 11.30am just 179 people had bothered to get out of bed to brave the wind and rain for the chance to appear in next year’s show.

In January, contestants for Big Brother Eight queued for as long as nine hours.

This year only the truly desperate made their way to the Millennium Stadium. Not even the chance to meet Big Brother Seven runner-up Glyn Wise tempted candidates to the capital.

Yesterday, producers Endemol demanded potential contestants’ surnames were not revealed in the Press, saying they would not be allowed on the show if they were.

Marcus, 36, from Gloucester, who manages a branch of home furnishing store Dunelm Mill, said: “Cardiff is usually packed and you are queuing for hours. I’ve never been to an audition where I have been this close to the front of the queue.”

Porthcawl hairdresser and mum-of-two Melanie said: “I’ve watched the show since the very first programme.”

Were they expecting Glyn to draw crowds?
