C4 gets a much older Brother

BIG BROTHER producers are searching for randy OAPs after taking a shine to an 80-year-old wannabe.

The grandad was picked out at a London audition and rushed through to the next stage after announcing: ?You can call me Sexy Dexy!?

An onlooker said: ?They said he was a serious contender as they want real characters this year.?

Producers also selected a 39-year-old gran and a transvestite ? but refused a naked man.

They have selected 180 favourites from 12,000 hopefuls.

It follows Channel 4?s admission that last year?s Big Brother was boring.

Ananova have picked up the story too.

This wouldn't have anything to do with today's date, would it?
