Couldn't see it anywhere.

BIG Brother’s audition hotline has gone into meltdown.

Thousands of fans are so eager to be a housemate on Channel 5’s new show that they have caused the website
to crash.

TV bosses only launched the official contestant application site on Tuesday. But within 72 hours of going live, it has been overloaded.

More than 35,000 wannabes have now downloaded the application form.

And already 2,500 have rushed through their completed forms in a bid to land a prized place in the audition queue.
Channel 5 executives say they are “thrilled’’ with the response.

And BB7 winner Pete Bennett, 29, said: “This really bodes well for the new show. It sparkle and people still want to be a part of it. I hope the producers pick carefully.

“I want to see funny, silly people who’ll make me laugh. And some hot girls in bikinis would do nicely too.”

Fans aged 18 and over can apply for a place at the BB auditions this summer at bigbrotherauditions.com.

This will not be the only chance to get on the show as there will be open auditions.

And your Daily Star will be holding a special competition to win a Golden Ticket pass.

Channel 5’s director of programmes Jeff Ford said: “By inviting people to apply for the show online, we hope to assemble the most entertaining and captivating house yet.

“We are looking forward to seeing the full array of applications, either online or in person.”
