A drag queen, a mother-of-nine and a couple who are getting married in March were among the hundreds of hopefuls who turned out for the auditions for the Channel Four reality show Big Brother at the RDS earlier today.

Undeterred by seven previous rejections, the mother-of-nine and grandmother Olivia Reid (54) from Dundalk, Co Louth, turned up for today’s auditions wearing curlers in her hair and an apron. She also had a mop bucket in tow.
