    I'm brave enough to enter. If I get a call telling me that I might have won one of the big prizes that's fine, I will make sure I am up and dressed and made up and that my house is spotless for that week (and clear with my boss that I can come in late). I don't know anyone who watches GMB, so I don't think there's much chance of anyone I know seeing me!

    I am unwilling to be on TV so I passed this one by.

    Should be a good week for those who don't mind being on telly though.
    Pretty low entry rate I would have thought
    63 mortgage payments to go.

    Zero wins 2016 😥

    Might not make much difference to entries from people who normally watch the show but you will have at least a ten times better chance than usual of winning as there are 10 prizes instead of one and that's not taking account of any drop in valid entries due to the overall entry restriction now in place.

    I suspect quite a few will be unwilling to appear on TV assuming they read the t and cs

    Well I hope its all MSE winners. :D

    And who has the patience to enter more than 30 times?

    I can only be bothered with up to 6 usually unless its a corker then I may try one more time.

    I haven't seen the comp post but unless it was for a life changing sum of money, there is no way I would want a tv crew at my door.

    I was going to enter but then bottled it.

    I will unlikely ever win an ITV comp in my lifetime, but knowing my luck, if i ever did win one, it will be this one lol.

    I couldn't have a TV crew on my doorstep and be on national television.

    I'll probably just do my usual and point out the "No unwanted callers" sign and lose my one chance of some easy cash..........:mad:

    I'd done one entry before the other eye scanned those particular terms of the comp - at which point I dropped it like a sack of hot crapola and turned to the next one. This will be the one I win for sure - anything before 10am and I have about me the air of the undead and a temper to match. Seriously - they wouldn't like me before I've had several coffees and sucked in pretend cigarettes where once they were real (this in itself does nothing to improve my mood!). Nightmare!

    I haven't entered but just because I will be at work, plus I live on a military base so they wouldn't be able to get in anyway!
