A POTTERS Bar woman lost out among 81 hopefuls vying for a place in the final ever series of Big Brother yesterday evening.

Amanda, described as half Brazilian and half Portuguese, found out her fate on the live launch night show set to run for 13 weeks on Channel 4.

She joined the other hopefuls on the main stage waiting for Big Brother to announce who would become a fully-fledged housemate but was among the disappointed faces who watched their rivals enter the house.

She could later join the house in line with the tradition of Big Brother to introduce new contestants halfway through the series.
