If they are hiring from reality TV shows, Tom Morgan from The Undateables would be good.

It would be nice to have some disabled people in it but I guess they don't fit BBs Towie and chav types.

Because Ch5 like stereotypical beauties, and a blind person and a wheelchair bound person doesn't fit Ch5's criteria.

They want the show to be TOWIE.
