Following our reminder article yesterday about Channel 5's search for an aspiring TV host to front two Home and Away fanzine shows, we've been taking a look at YouTube to check out some of the hopefuls.

While browsing, we couldn't help but be drawn to Richard Price, who went a step further than most in his audition video by impersonating Emily Symons (Marilyn) and Steve Peacocke (Brax) during his 'interviews'! This one is well worth a watch…

Further details about the competition and how to enter can be found on Channel 5's official Home and Away website.
