In the week that Home Secretary Suella Braverman hit the headlines for claiming that homelessness is a lifestyle choice, we\u2019re launching a unique advertising campaign on ITVX to show how young people want nothing more than to avoid a night sleeping rough on the streets. <\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The TV campaign, titled House Auditions, coincides with the programming of Big Brother\u2019s 25th season, from 6 November. Just like the iconic Big Brother audition tapes, each ad will feature a young person explaining to the viewer why they would make a good housemate. <\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Instantly recognisable, the tapes tap into the You Tube \/ Tik Tok generation, as the young person jovially pitches to the camera. But as the camera pulls away, the viewer begins to see more of their environment \u2013 a run-down house, a tent next to a busy road. <\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The twist is that the young person is not auditioning for the Big Brother house but is asking to be considered as a housemate in a home where they will be safe, warm and off the streets. <\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
