BIG Brother insiders have revealed the show's sleazy casting calls involving nudity and abuse.

Former housemate Heath Tournier said potential players must parade nude for Big Brother producers.
Tournier said the audition process also calls for hopefuls to spout abuse and perform lapdances.

"I feel comfortable nude, so I walked around nude as part of the audition," he said.

"The producers say they want to see contestants nude to know what they're like.

"I cannot say whether they are looking for, or at, anything specific. But they call that part of the audition a nudie run."

His revelations of naked screen tests and dodgy demands follows community outrage over the reality television hit.
