Look, it’s a game of luck. But you can’t win if you don’t play. The application is free. The chase is fun (sort of). And the payoff? Unreal.
So set your alarms. Follow the BBC on Twitter. Have your email open and ready. You might just end up sweating in a queue, having the time of your life. And if it doesn’t work out? Well, there’s always next year’s sofa. But why settle for a cushion when you can have a front-row seat to Craig’s judgmental glare? Go on. Apply. What have you got to lose except a bit of sanity and maybe your dignity when you inevitably do the “Strictly pointing” dance during a commercial break? You know you want to.
