The first stage of Tuesday’s auditions, according to a producer run-sheet, involved groups of people meeting with a producer for 15 minutes in a ‘diary room’ inspired scenario.
Presumably, this would involve contenders to delver a mock video diary entry to camera, just as the housemates do on Big Brother.
