A Chance to meet TV presenter
Davina McCall and experience what it is like to sit in the Big Brother diary room has sparked a rush to London by fans of the reality TV show from Bristol and North Somerset. Madame Tussauds has installed a new Big Brother exhibit and it is proving a smash hit with daily coach travellers to London.
Weston-super-Mare based Bakers Dolphin say Big Brother fans are flocking to their daily London Flyer coach link to the capital and buying Madam Tussauds tickets at the same time so that they don't have to queue when they get there.
The Big Brother attraction opened just a few weeks ago. Visitors also get a taste of what it is like to leave the house when they are invited on to the stage to meet Davina McCall.
Amanda Harrington, director of Bakers Dolphin, said: "Big Brother and Davina are such icons of the television world that it is proving a real hit with people here in the West Country."
