Totally agree -And I know these need people who will come across well on TV, but you can have too many "characters" - especially when they all merge into the same bearded gay bloke who makes his husband's frocks.
I can't believe that there are so few applicants about who wouldn't be a joy to watch and that some of the men might not even have beards.
I can't sew, but I'm prepared to take one for the team and be bad enough to go in the first week. I will apply claiming loads of quirky hobbies (as suggested by a PP), and insist that I have a special diet bequeathed to me by the soul of a Tibetan monk who is my spirit guide, and possibly will also claim to be a trans-transexual - a woman who identifies as a gay man who identifies as a woman with a moustache..
I will be full of cheeky banter and saucy innuendo at the interviews, and will be a producer's delight until the first episode, when I will adopt a face like fizz and will deny I ever told them anything of the sort, and insist that my hobbies are drinking Guinness while watching Corrie, and playing online bingo.
I will argue furiously with every critical comment and threaten to sue if they chuck me out before week 5. While everyone else is having a friendly coffee in the break times, I will be sitting on a separate table with a teacup and filling it up from a bottle of Bombay Sapphire that I keep in my enormous handbag and glaring at the other contestants.
I will probably pinch Patrick's bottom . . .
