Britain’s Got Talent, Glasgow [21st January 2009]

So, today I went to the Britain’s Got Talent auditions in Glasgow today and it was just… wow!

Basically, arrived at the Armadillo at around 10:30am, and there was only around 30 people in front of us. Me and Heather forgot to bring food so we waited ages for Mr.
Tea Man to give us juice and some food as we didn’t want to leave the queue!
One of the producers asked if anyone had a banner/sign for the judges, it was just to my luck I had brought pen and blank paper and made a sign that said;

“I LIKE MEN IN HIGH WAISTED TROUSERS!”

The sign needed a bit of colour so I thought I would use my Urban Decay Book of Eyeshadows to colour it in, and the sign got me and Heather noticed! We were talking to one of the crew members who was actually a Student on Work Experience from Cali Uni! And he came over to me and Heather around 20 minutes later after writing down on a piece of paper Girl in green jacket with curls holding sign… then another producer called Dan came over and basically said that;

THEY WANTED TO FILM AN AUDIENCE MEMBER FOR THE DAY ABOUT THEIR EXPERIENCE AT THE GLASGOW AUDITIONS – AND THEY CHOSE ME!

We got made to stand in the queue at various places, and just act as if we were queuing as Dan filmed some shots of me and Heather. We did a mini interview standing in the queue about what it was like being an audience member and the judges and whatnot. We also got filmed walking in the doors and to our seats (which we got some of the best seats to!) And our reactions for all our acts would get filmed as the camera was practically in our faces for the whole of the auditions.
As we sat down, Dan came over with a MASSIVE sign that says I LOVE SIMON with a huge picture of Simon’s face on it – and to make the day even better, bloody DECLAN DONNELLY noticed the banner!

The interval came, and another interview. I got miked up and spoke about what the show was like so far. So, all was fine and well. Dan then told me that during the show there would be a Q&A; section in where I would have to ask a question to Simon – little did I know I was asking to kiss him! :| WOAH.

So, the time came for the Q&A;, and I spoke into Roycey’s mike (the warm up act that was there last year as well, fucking legend!) And then I asked Simon for a kiss and he said YES! Roycey took my hand an lead me to the judges table where I also met AMANDA HOLDEN and PIERS MORGAN! I walked up on the platform and kissed Simon on the lips! LOL! He saw my banner and laughed his head off asking me what my name was and if I was alright before saying to me;

It was a pleasure to meet you, sweetheart.
– TOTALLY MADE MY DAY!

Then we got interviewed after the show about our day and then I headed for my train home. Absolutely amazing day, even if I never met Ant & Dec but anyway. :]

Look out for my on your television screens soon!
