Auditions start for BB9

18 & 20 January, Emirates Stadium, from 8.30am

Love it or loathe it, there is no getting away from Big Brother, and now they're even doing the auditions for series nine in one of the country's best football stadiums.

It's unclear why anyone would want a place on the show, but the £100,000 first prize and a fleeting period of fame will no doubt ensure that enough wannabees turn out, so expect lengthy queues.

Apart from being over 18-years-old there doesn't appear to be any restrictions on those wishing to audition. However, those with two heads or a ridiculous haircut probably stand a better chance with the selection panel.
