Love it or loath it, the public just can't get enough of reality TV. From Big Brother to I’m a Celebrity Get me out of Here! they‘re all a ratings success. Originally it was thought that Fame Academy was going to be the exception to the rule with poor audiences and a hard time from the press. In the end they managed to shrug off the ‘poor man‘s Pop Idol‘ tag and get the ratings they had been hoping for. Finally it was down to Sinead Quinn, Omar, David Sneddon and Ainsley Hamilton fighting it out for the record contract, Audi TT, cash and luxury flat. Young cheeky Paisley chappie Sneddon won on the night and hasn’t looked back since, or made a decent record come to that, but the young lasses seem to like him and continue to

guarantee him a place in the top 10.

So with the promise of a year of luxury, a probable number one record and celeb mates it is time for all young wannabes to head to the (often soul destroying) auditions. In Glasgow they want all the 18-35 year old singer songwriters with a stunning personality to start queuing early to bag their place in the Academy. Not that they go on looks. but don't forget to bring a full length photo of yourself. (Jane Hamilton)
