THE lengths people will go to just to have their 15 minutes of fame really is shocking.

If you asked this year’s contestants on Big Brother before last week if they would ever shave off their eye brows or change their names by deed poll to Dogface or Halfwit, they’d probably have laughed in your face.

But after being told that is exactly the kind of thing they’d have to do to secure their place in this year’s BB house they all co-operated like they were completely reasonable requests.

I could hardly believe my eyes, when they accepted the tasks where housemates had to prove how much they wanted to be in the house to get their feet through the door.

I suppose Davina McCall and the gang had to come up with something different this year because, let’s be honest, who watches Big Brother anymore?

You might watch the motley lot enter the house, if you’ve got nothing else to do, but after that is it still really interesting in any way to sit on your couch watching other people sit on a couch?

Poor Noirin — after seven days of having to constantly draw comedy glasses on her face, she might have a few regrets about agreeing to take part in this challenge.

Beinazir had a lucky escape never getting in.

Bet she’s laughing at them all now.
