Once you’re shortlisted, they ask for a “living room tour” over video call. This is your chance to shine. Show the frayed corner of your sofa where your dog sleeps. Point out the pile of remote controls. If you have a TV cabinet from 1985, that’s a plus. A minimalist room is a no-go—too sterile, too IKEA.
Remember, the show is about relatability. Every viewer has a piece of your sofa in their own home. So, apply with a mate, film your worst TV rants, and embrace your inner dad-joke machine. Worst case? You get a funny story about the time you auditioned for telly. Best case? You’re the new couple everyone loves for calling the Bake Off contestants “absolute wet blankets.”
Now, go watch something boring and make a hilarious face. The producers are waiting.
