Channel 5 quiz show Eggheads seeking contestants from Northern Ireland

Channel 5 quiz show Eggheads is looking for contestants from Northern Ireland for a new series.

Each team will consist of four members and one standby, who take on the game show champions - known as the Eggheads - for prize money.

If the challengers lose, then £1,000 is added to the prize money fund until the Eggheads are beaten, when the prize will revert to £1,000.

The popular show was first broadcast on the BBC in 2003, and dozens have managed to overcome the mighty Eggheads in its 18 year history.

The highest amount won by a team came in 2007 when Oxford Brookes University students, 'Beer Today, Gone Tomorrow' won £75,000.

This will be the show's second series since its move to Channel 5, with presenter Jeremy Vine hosting.

Do you and some friends have what it takes to take on some of the UK's greatest quizzers and scramble the Eggheads?

Applicants must be 18 years of age or older, and must be legally resident and currently living in the United Kingdom, the Channel Islands, or the Isle of Man.

The closing date for returning application forms is midnight on December 10.
