'Millionaire' bosses decide to hold auditions

Who Wants To Be A Millionaire? producers are holding auditions for the next series of the quiz show.

Although viewers can still apply via phone or the internet and hope to be picked in a random draw, wannabe contestants can now visit the show's website and submit a short message about why they would be good on television. Those who impress executives will then be invited to an interview.

According to The Sun, producers came up with the new plan because they are concerned about falling ratings and want contestants to be more interesting.

Host Chris Tarrant said: "We're looking for all kinds of people."
