hi did anyone go to the manchester auditions on 22nd Aug. I enjoyed the day but found it too long with all the takes and it was raining outside but the crew seemed to want us outside all the time while coleen kept driving round the block and getting out the car. also they ran out of food and drink as soon as the first 20 or so girls got in the room so a few of us were so dry and tired.i thought coleen looked lovely though she is very petite and slim more so in real life then in the photos!

Hi There

 I went to the Manchester audition, really enjoyed myself. I have a few pics of the day on my facebook if you want to look at them, just search Laura Halliwell in leeds and add me if you want, (as I think my pics are set to private) but I took a few group shots so you could be on some of them!!

 I know what you mean about the waiting outside. I had blue lips when I was being interviewed....hope it doesn't show it on camera (if I get on camera!!) Did you get through to last 10, I didn't but two girls I was with all morning did so cant wait to see it on Tues.

 See ya x

I completly agree i thought the re takes outside just because we wasnt clapping enough was pathetic, it was raining and we waited over an hour outside for her to arrive. I had a horrible day and really didnt like how we wasnt allowed to wear our dressing gowns as i was really cold sat on a carpet floor and i felt like i had no choice. Do you know when this show is on hun? hope you are ok, angelina x

hey angelina

i think i was there the day after you ! i went to the H Sam casting for the valentines day diamonds campagin. It was also rainging on our day and they kept filming and making us stand outside because we were not going ooooh and clapping loud enough !! i didnt have a cover so had my jacket over my head very glamous....!! i didnt get to the top ten a girl I was talking to do tho.

Mine is on tomorrow im going to be watching with a bright red face!!! :-)

 which day did you go to ?? x

I agree Angelina, i went to the johnson and johnson casting and walked away with a massive headache. I felt very exposed considering we had no warning about the bikini's and the fact we waited outside for 2hr 20mins in the rain was crazy especially as most girls were in heels!!  we then had to do 8 takes just walking into the room and that wasn't even shown on tele!! i didnt eat or drink anything from 8:30am-4pm as all the food and drink only covered the first 20 girls, and that resulted in feeling run down and getting a massive headache!

***girls who want to apply be warned-it's not that great and we just got neglected all day, Coleen only spoke to us when she was told to and the camera's were rolling but other than that she stood with her makeup people and ignored us! i didnt speak to Coleen once and found the day long and stressful!! Remember this show benefits her career not ours...Where are the girls now? Last years winners for example??***

 Other than that the other girls at the casting are all lovely and if anything atleast you get to meet some really lovely people.

Wow coleen sounds like a right stuck up diva!!! I dont care who somebody is nobody has a right to treat someone else like something they stepped in.
