AUDITIONS for Big Brother 9 take place this weekend - and we want to know if you are taking part.

The Channel 4 reality show returns in the summer and the search for this year's housemates is on.

The nationwide auditions kicked off at the end of November and will come to a close in London tomorrow and Sunday.

The auditions will be held at the Emirates Stadium, home of Arsenal Football Club in north London.

The lucky few who move one step closer to being contestants on the show will attend a call-back on Monday.

Ex-Big Brother housemate Charley Uchea, from Lewisham, who was in the 2007 series, will attend the first day of auditions in London to whip up enthusiasm among the crowd.

All applicants must be aged over 18 in the summer of 2008 and available to take part through the summer months.

Those turning up to audition will be required to produce photo ID as proof of age and identity.

  • If you are planning to audition we want to hear about it, and then find out how you get on. Call the newsdesk on 01689 885703 or click here to email

I think that the fact that the reporter who wrote this article is too embarrased to put their name to it sums Big Brother. A total waste of time - if you want to view other people's lives, become a peeking tom!

Things like this are nothing new.Freakshows were popular back in Victorian times as well.

Only people with an IQ smaller than their shoe size need apply.

Anyone remember TV with normal intelligent interesting shows? The drivel they're putting out these days is ridiculous!

Of course those that do not like BB need not apply and not watch it when on. Im certainly not stupid, don,t have a small IQ, and don't find it neccessary to make negative comments about those that do watch it, Who's up themself??
