Edinburgh extras wanted for Stephen Mulhern's ITV show In for a Penny this month

Bosses at ITV are looking for fun people in Edinburgh to take part in a paid extras role for a new season of Stephen Mulhern's show, In for a Penny.

Stephen Mulhern presents the pop-up gameshow based on the original 'Saturday Night Takeaway' feature. The host takes a unique brand of games and quizzes to the streets, challenging unsuspecting members of the public for a chance to win anything from the price of their petrol to a sizeable cash prize.
