... would have got a few pictures but noooooooooo I didn't think because I was a bit excited by it all so I forgot

Anyway if you read on here or another forum a post from someone who has been and its conflicting (crowd reaction) then remember its because we we're more than likely stood in different parts so heard different things. It doesn't mean either person is a liar.

Got there about 4ish, not as many people as I thought there would be. Quite a few people already queued up. Got to go in just after 8ish, longer wait than I thought there would be.

If you're stood on the stage looking at the screen I was on the right side just near the press but about 3 or 4 people back and about 2 or 3 people to the left of me where the press pen was.

I know its clichéd but the house really is tiny and people say it all the time but can't quite get over it until you actually see it. Davina came out a while after, shes much smaller and slimmer than I imagined. She looks better as well ... She was good with the crowd, just went to bits and spoke to people personally, people were sticking their hands out and stuff and she was shaking them.

Went on air a little before 9pm. I was surprised at the lack of cameras. There were only about 2 or 3. Our side wanted Mo out but the other side wanted Bex out. I don't know who's chants came across the best though I've not had a chance to watch it yet.

Davina spoke to the crowd during ad breaks and a bit during the highlights just basically about her and her life and a bit about the series. Shes really nice, a lot different than she is on screen. Shes a bit hyper though.

Popular with the crowd was Luke, Dale, Stuart, Kat, Rachel, Lisa and Darnell. Rex, Sara, Maysoon and Mikey all got mixed reactions with Mo getting the most boos. Bex got booed during the reading the number out but she got some mega cheers coming out. But when the highlights were on not everyone actually got a proper reaction but thats the best I could make out. Bex came out a lot earlier than I expected though, I can't pin a specific time on it but it was well before 10.30pm. People started going as soon as she went to the studio so we just went as well.

When I seen the second show on C4+1 it looked so much different ...

Oh and Bex isn't as big in real life, its not hard to believe shes a size 12 when you see her in person.

But the most bizarre bit was when she was stood behind the door, its like you can't get your head around that shes actually there if I'm making sense?

In all, good night but probably won't do it again because its too far to travel on a regular basis and there is a lot of waiting about for the sake of about 2 hours. But at least I can say I've been.
