The auditions today are for a pantomime dame, a backstage interviewer and a presenter for a TV shopping channel dedicated to crafting. Expect towering wigs, extravagant lipstick and OTT costumes as the curtain is raised on the search for a dame to star in one of the nation's premier pantos in Blackburn. Amongst those shoving a couple of balloons up their tops are veteran dame Tony, former cabin crew Del, drag queen Richard, and Robin, who brings his wife along for moral support - and help with his make-up. Among the tests set for the dames is a show-stopping group performance of 'It's Raining Men'. MOBO, the renowned music awards, are searching for someone to interview A-listers and create social media content for their online channels. Hopefuls include identical twins Gareth and Mason, young dad Kevin and Mz Dru, who dreams of becoming a presenter whilst working shifts as a medical secretary. The biggest test they face is a surprise interview with Marvin Humes of JLS. Some take the encounter with pop royalty in their stride; others crumble under the pressure. TV shopping channel Create and Craft are casting for a presenter. It's a prestigious job at the pinnacle of the crafting world. The auditionees include 68-year-old grandma Francie, hairdresser Hayley, who crafts with her young daughters, and Zack, who shows off his hand-made and astonishingly lifelike paper birds. The crafters come out all glue guns blazing, tackling tasks such as transforming a styrofoam ball. The results include an impressive Christmas bauble, an adorable pig - and Mr Blobby. After their auditions, all the hopefuls face a nervous wait until the end of the day, when they'll find out if they've bagged a life changing job. Written by ITV See less
