Sponsors of Emmerdale and Sunderland FC, Tombola Bingo is looking to its members for future stars of their Emmerdale sponsorship bumpers which are shown prior to the ITV soap, either side of the commercials and at the end of the programme.

Tombola is one of the biggest names in the online bingo industry at the moment and it has achieved this through a combination of building a great bingo site, offering an unrivalled level of service and through a comprehensive program of brand awareness. The sponsorship bumpers are short promotional films featuring real life Tombola Bingo players. This latest set of bumpers will be the third round since Tombola agreed the sponsorship deal with ITV and they are now looking for more of their players to be stars. As long as you’re a member of Tombola Bingo you can apply to take part, simply log in to your account and tell them why you would like to star in the adverts before 7th February at 10am. Don’t forget to send them a current photo.

Once all the applications have been received then 100 people will be chosen to take part in the casting session on Saturday 26th February in London. Of these 25 will be chosen to take part in the shoot itself and the adverts will be filmed over three days between 28th and 30th March.

A previous winner, Stephen Rowlands from Liverpool and known as ‘redhotbear’, told how good the three days of filming were: "From the moment I arrived at the casting day, to the second we left the hotel to come home after the filming, I don't think I've had an experience that was as much fun for such a period of time".
