That article said it was Tahan's eye but it looked more like Layla to me. Anyway I don't think this is a legit inside scoop although Ben Norris the 2012 winner was apparently offered the chance to enter the UK house last year but knocked it back. Perhaps they have offered it to him again but this year he is more desperate for a role on TV compared to last year when he was still in the spotlight and is more inclined to participate this year.
The female eye is definitely Layla as it's her twitter avatar (they're all twitter avatars). So 'not like the other' must mean Layla cos she's female.
I'm actually hoping it's true. The fact that Layla is British and auditioned for BBUK also gives it a bit of credence. That said I won't get my hopes to high as no doubt it won't happen even though I really really want it to.
