2.4 Please be aware that by registering and/or submitting an Application Form and/or receiving a phone call and/or any other correspondence from a member of the Programme production team and/or attending any recording days doesn’t mean that you will be appearing on the Programme. We will review which entries should be put forward through to the next stage of the Programme selection process. All participants on the Programme will be selected at our sole discretion and you accept that by submitting your Application Form that such decisions shall be final and that there will be no right of appeal against any decisions taken by us on this matter.
