Big Brother bosses have insisted their Golden Ticket contest is not a fix.
The independent adjudicator issued a statement backing up their claims.
Susie Verrico was selected to enter the house on Friday night's live show. But several of the housemates recognised her and it emerged she had auditioned for the Channel 4 show a number of times. The Daily Star claimed Susie, a 43-year-old model, told drinkers in a London pub two weeks ago: "Watch out for me, I'm going into the Big Brother house."
Some reports have suggested the lottery-style draw was rigged and that Susie's number - 14 - was on every ball.
Channel 4 has released close-up pictures of the draw machine which appear to show balls bearing other numbers. They also released a statement from the independent adjudicator which oversaw the draw.
Sian Roberts, Deputy Chief Executive of the Electoral Reform Services, said: "On Friday 9 June, we acted as independent adjudicators for the Golden Ticket lottery draw. We were on site to verify the balls were correctly placed into the lottery machine. We then supervised the machine being moved into the garden area which was then locked."
And Big Brother boss Phil Edgar-Jones insisted: "There is absolutely no truth in any of the rumours that the Golden Ticket draw was a fix. An independent adjudicator was on site to verify the balls were correctly placed in the machine. All 34 balls in the machines were labelled 1-34. The draw was totally random and took place live on air for all to see."
i didn't understand what they were questioning her about.... she would have gone to an audition in the past yes? and will have been given a number like people are given at these auditions - completely random number, they did their thing, didn't choose her and off she went, a few weeks later she buys 100000 million kit kats cos she is desparate to get in, her husband pays for one and she is a lucky golden ticket winner, there is 34 of them and she is randomly given the number 14 - i don't get why that was being questioned last night? she had one number at her audition - say 34564 and never got through and thats got nothing to do with what number she was when on the golden ticket waiting list on friday?
I answered the parallel thread here already, but though I think she's a lovely woman, her face, for 43, looks like Julia Roberts after she melted. Unless she's lying about her age (Lea also looks about 50) I dread to think how someone of 43 has the sort of drooping jowls and sagging everything normally seen on someone 20 plus years older. With HDTV it would be even more obvious and I was thinking exactly the same when she was in the diary room that I'd never seen anyone look that rough at that age, and I'm 3 years her senior.
I don't think it was a fix that it was Susie but I think the whole member of the public thing was a fix. Did you see Pete last Saturday night when the camera panned to the group of wannabes - saying "I know him, and him, and ooh him over there". They obviously looked at the golden ticket winners and trolled through for people who had already auditioned at some point. Richard, Pete and Nikki obviously knew her already as Nikki was screaming pick number 14 - she's really nice - she wasn't saying that after Susie nominated her - I think that's why Nikki took it so badly unlike Grace who was just to use her own words "a shit-stirring bitchy moose"
