Press Release:

IT’S THAT TIME ALREADY… BIG BROTHER 8 AUDITIONS
ARE ON THEIR WAY!

Big Brother is back and the call for contestants can only mean one thing… Channel 4 will be holding open auditions for the show around the UK & Ireland. So, for anyone out there who thinks that they can bring something extra special to the house, it’s their time to turn up and show us why.

The auditions kick off early next year and the first stop on the audition trail will be Glasgow, followed by Cardiff, Newcastle, Birmingham, Dublin, Manchester and London.

Out of the thousands who turn up, Big Brother will need to see what makes that one person stand out from the throng. Anyone lucky enough to be selected will go through to the next stage where they will meet the Big Brother producers, and go all out to impress. This is where they’ll need to convey just why the nation would want to tune into them over the summer.

All applicants must be aged over 18 in the summer of 2007 and available to take part all summer 2007. Those turning up to audition will be required to take photo ID (such as a passport or driving license) as proof of age and identity. No ID, no entry. Applicants are advised to wrap up warm and bring something to eat and drink, as it could be a long day.

Any applicants who have specific access requirements should call 020 8222 4356 and leave their name and telephone number. A member of the production team will get back to them with details.
