Michael McIntyre's Big Show looking for Geordies to take part in midnight gameshow

Geordies had a starring role on the last series and as Michael McIntyre's Big Show gets set to shoot new episodes, the hit BBC programme is looking for more people from Newcastle to feature.

The comedian's primetime Saturday night spectacular is a big ratings hit for the BBC and, as well as featuring Cheryl in a hilarious sketch involving Piers Morgan, the last series also saw some Newcastle karaoke singers take a starring role.

They were secretly filmed belting out some Kylie Minogue classics at a night themed around the Aussie pop princess at city centre bar Cosy Joes.

Unbeknown to them, these were filmed for Big Show and then shown to Kylie herself!

Well now Michael and his team want more Geordies to appear in a particular part of the show.

As Big Show returns for series 5, they are looking for people from Newcastle, and the surrounding areas, to nominate their partners in secret for the popular 'Midnight Gameshow' item, where Michael surprises them in the middle of the night with a gameshow in their very own bedroom!

If you are interested in nominating your other half, youcan email  casting@hungrybear.tv   for more information.
