Am I the only one? (GMB)

I'm quite private and although this weeks GMB prizes are great I just don't want everyone knowing about it if I were to win + I cover my face as soon as I see a camera!

Even though my chances are slim this is probably the ITV comp I would win if I entered.

Are there others who are just as reluctant as I?

Best of luck to all of you who do enter, I hope MSE has some winners :)

Hoping I win an ITV comp this year though, been entering for 16 years.
Comping since January 16th 2014 :)

    I haven't entered it either and don't plan to, for the exact same reason!! There are enough other ITV comps for me to HOPE to win, that I can let myself off this one! ;)

    I think most just list winner's name / town- be sure to opt out of further contact / marketing etc!


    unless its a doorstep challenge thing, for which it would be clear what's involved publicity wise!

    This one is a live turn up for the top 5 prizes.

    I couldn't cope with a live TV crew, our two dogs going mad, me probably still in my PJs, with a slice of toast in my hand, unbrushed hair, probably shouting at my hubby over something trivial. :eek:

    Luckily the dates aren't convenient for me anyway, so don't have to have a discussion with myself about whether to enter, and can just click the red cross. *Phew*

    This is a perfect description of me - so you are not alone ;)





    I've learned that even when I have pains, I don't have to be one

    OMG I am quite private too! I am likely to open the door in my pink fluffy kitten heeled slippers, pink strappy nighty, matching pink frilly gown and with my fluffly white and cream chihuahua by my feet! Lots of fluff, frills, thrills and latte spills (from my mug)! Hee hee at least the viewers would get a smile! ecstatic-cat-jumping-smiley-emoticon.gif
    :TA big thanks to all who post and sprinkling lucky dust to all who enter :smileyhea

    If GMB are reading this, I don't mind looking like an idiot in exchange for £30k !!
    Pick me !! ;-)

    I've been asked to provide a photo of myself with my prize a couple of times but I'm afraid it slipped my mind both times.

    NO PUBLICITY

    Thank you.
