Once again, Big Brother is holding open auditions around the UK & Ireland. There's no need to send in an application form or a video - you just need to turn up at one of the countrywide open auditions, and show Big Brother why you should be chosen to take part.
Big Brother will be visiting Edinburgh, Newcastle, Dublin, Manchester, Cardiff, Birmingham and London from February through to March 2005.
At each location, the producers will select the people who stand out in the queues, to go through to the next stage. It could be a long day, so please wrap up warm and bring something to eat & drink.
There is no guarantee you'll even make it through the door, but if you do, you'll enter one of our diary rooms, and be asked to sell yourself to Big Brother for one full minute. You can do or say anything that will make you stand out from the thousands of applicants, to convince Big Brother why the nation will want to watch you over the summer.
Please note, that you must be over eighteen in the summer of 2005 to apply, so you'll need to bring along photo ID (such as a passport or driving licence) as proof of your age and identity. No ID, no entry. You must also be available in summer 2005 to take part.
