Granny battles with wannabes for Big Brother

A MOTHER of nine was among the more than 500 wannabes who yesterday tried to battle their way into the Big Brother house.

Grandmother Olivia Reid made her seventh attempt to win a spot on the reality television show, the 10th series of which hits our screens in May.

Dressed as a cleaning lady, the 54-year-old vowed to polish up her act at an open audition in Dublin’s RDS.
