Well thats me back from the Auditions in Glsagow and i gotta say i had a brilliant time too!!
So here's my wee story..ENJOY!
We set off from Aberdeen at about 6.30am and headed to Glasgow by car (stopping at the Horn on the way down for some yummy breakie) and we arrived at the SECC at about 10.45ish and there was already quite a queue outside, so we decided to park the car in our hotel car park which was connected to the SECC and join the queue. It was so cold!!! About half an hour before we were let in we had to do some tele shots of us cheering and shouting 'Welcome to Glasgow', 'Glasgow's got Talent' and 'Welcome back to Glasgow' we had to do it loadsa times and the cold didn't help. We saw all the judges arriving and Ant & Dec walked passed us but couldn't get the camera out quick enough
Anyway we got in a bit late and when we got in we managed to get seats on the balcony in the 2nd row, we were right on the ailse seat by the stairs so had brilliant views.
The warm up guy was brilliant and got us to do all our inside tele shots and at one point when we were doing our 'off off off' bit the camera was pointing in me and nenni's direction.....
The warm up guy was hilarious and ended up with 2 girls handbags on stage and he emptied them out on the floor and went through them...lol
And finally he got the guys on stage and they were looking as yum as ever, they had a wee yap and i got some pics and a video (which i will link on here) Dec came on eating sweets that the warm up guy had given him out of one of the girls handbags...lol The judges got welcomed out too and then the auditions began.
We had a bit of everything we had bagpipes playing hokey cokey, had a weird guy who said he can eat 8 ferrero roche in a minute, but only managed 4 (But Ant managed to beat him backstage!), had the spoon playing guy who went on x-factor by mistake, we had a few cute kids singing (one is a bit of a tear-jerker), cheerleaders, acrobats, impersonater (who we boooed whe he said his first line) but the weird on of all had to be the Marilyn Munro look-a-like who came on stage with Ant & Dec and he (yes he) was really good until he started to sing and he wouldn't leave the stage and got escorted away from simon by tony. So over all i had the best time ever and a really good laugh did have cheek-ache for ages after. Only had about 5 or 6 people put through.
And when we went back to our hotel we were surrounded by all the backstage people from Britain's Got Talent...lol. But if the boys were staying in the Crowne Plaza we'll never know!!!
Hope you enjoyed me wee story and i will post a few pics and the link to the video soon.

We didn't get shown to our seats and when they showed people in the first lot were shown downstairs and we got put up the escalator and managed to end up on the 2nd row of the balcony. You just had to be quick. Quite a few people headed to the toilets first as they'd be standing outside for a while but we headed straight to the seats

and also to add..though maybe not true (we'll never really know)...I went outside because of a bad habit ( ) and there were guys standing outside in kilts. They were talking with this lass who said she had been to the auditions and one guy said that Ant and Dec had bought them a drink (in the hotel we were staying in) because it's was a wedding party.
It was a brilliant day. FREEZING to start with, and nearly involved a punch up lol, but ended just brilliant! Spoooooooooooooooon enjoyed himself too lmao

Britain's Got Talent: Piers Morgan takes 'puppet' dig at Dannii Minogue
Jan 22 2009
BRITAIN'S Got Talent judge Piers Morgan got stuck into Simon Cowell yesterday over his hatred of puppets.
After a puppeteer appeared, Cowell announced that he didn't like puppets.
Piers asked: "What about Dannii?", cheekily referring to X Factor co-host Dannii Minogue.
His other X Factor judge Louis Walsh didn't escape, as Simon was then told: "Actually, you are a puppeteer - you stick your hand up Louis's a*** and move his mouth."
Cowell was also accosted by a transsexual Marilyn Monroe lookalike at the Glasgow heats.
The softly spoken Marilyn, from Govan, was booed off.
But Cowell told her: "At least you look like a woman."
She replied: "I am a woman. I was just born with some wrong parts."
After losing out, she tried to sit on Cowell's knee and asked: "Is it because I'm a transsexual?"
