This summer will witness the most outgoing grandmother of Dundalk, Olive Reid, coming closer to securing a place in the Big Brother house. She has made it at last to the reality show that is one of the most watched programs by viewers in the UK. She has turned into the darling of the media, making appearances on radio and TV. She is one among the 800 people who have been asked to come down to London to meet the show’s producers last week.
More than fifty thousand people had auditioned for the show across the United Kingdom and Ireland and Olive has managed to beat hundreds to end up in the list of 800 hopefuls. In a few weeks from now, a team will come down to Dublin to further narrow down the list. Chances of Olive ending up as one of the final 10 candidates for the reality show are uncertain. However, she does stand a good chance of packing her travel rucksack and setting out to the BB house. Presently, she is on cloud nine and would obviously be thrilled to move into the house.
Olive Reid is an excellent badminton player and she opines that she would fit admirably into the role of housemother in the show if she does get lucky and finds a place in the Big Brother house. The end of May is the time set for the new season of the show and if Olive is lucky enough, we may all get to see her then. She is confident she will empower the younger people to become the mother of the house as she herself has raised nine kids of her own and knows how to handle them.
