Open auditions have launched to find the next voice of Virgin Trains' onboard loos. They did try actor Dean Gaffney for the role, but as you can see from the video below, that didn't work out.

If you've travelled on a Virgin Train, there's a good chance you'll have encountered the inimitable talking toilets. Whether you love or hate a chatty loo, from today you now have the chance to be the new voice. Ably assisted by seasoned actor Dean Gaffney, Virgin Trains is launching a nationwide search to find a handful of lucky winners from across the UK who will bag the (toilet) role of a lifetime. The winners' vocal stylings will be heard on Virgin Trains services right across the West Coast route, giving them an audience of more than 38 million passengers a year.

As well as delivering an important health and safety message of the perils of flushing the 'unflushables' (baby wipes, sanitary items and nappies etc), the current voice of the loo lifts the lid, in trademark Virgin Trains tongue-in-cheek style, on her far less salubrious stint as a public toilet. The current toilet voice has been in place for over a year, so is ripe for a reboot.
