BIG BROTHER will be visiting the North-East to look for new hopefuls to take part in the reality TV show.

Auditions will be held at St James' Park in Newcastle from 9am on Saturday, February 12.

A Big Brother spokesman said: "There's no need to send in an application form or a video - hopefuls just need to turn up on the day and show why they should be chosen to take part in Big Brother 6.

"The production team will scour the queues and select the people who stand out to go through to the next stage.

"There is no guarantee everyone will even make it through the door, but those who do, will get one minute to sell themselves to Big Brother in one of the diary rooms."

All applicants must be aged over 18 in the summer of this year and be available for the series, due to be screened this summer.

People auditioning will need photo ID, such as a passport or driving licence, as proof of age and identity.
