Day 1 started with a bang, as the lovely Emma Willis welcomed the latest batch of wondrous celebrities to the Big Brother House.

But before we get a roll-call going, let's start with the first three housemates to enter the House - flamboyant choreographer, Louie Spence, antique expert, Lauren Harriesand model Sophie Anderton. It wasn't long after entering the House that these lucky three (or unlucky, however you want to view it) learnt that they would be playing a big part in the first twist of the series. After exiting the main House to take residence in the 'Cult Temple', they were told that they are to spy on their fellow celebrities for the next 24 hours, as they have an important decision to ahead of them. More of that to come!

So whilst the trio got comfy in the secret room, it was time to introduce their roomies for the next few weeks. We welcomed corrie couple, Bruce Jones and Vicky Entwistle, American sweetheart, Courtney Stodden, Abz from 5ive, Dublin Wives star, Danielle Marr and 'Saved by the bell' actor, Dustin Diamond. Not far behind was Geordie Shore's, Charlotte-Letita, TOWIE's Mario Falcone, Loose Women presenter,Carol McGiffin and football personality, Ron Atkinson.  Phew – what a line-up.

There were only a few minutes of respite from the entrance excitement, when Big Brother dropped another clanger, asking the housemates to choose the two most famous housemates. Unfortunately for Bruce and Vicky, their apparent celebrity status proved a hinderance, as they discovered that this earned them a special sleeping quarter for the evening – the garden.

As the Battersbys came to terms with their sleeping arrangements, the other housemates took the opportunity to get acquainted with each other, as the 'Cult of Celebrity' members scrutinized their every move. First impressions count in this House, and for one of the housemates, a bad first impression is going to cost them dearly.

The first full day of Celebrity Big Brother has officially begun and, boy, are we excited.

First up were Bruce and Vicky (not Les and Janice, as we can’t stop calling them), who were no doubt awoken by the cockerel crowing outside in their chilly al fresco bedroom.

They were swiftly followed by our three Cult of Celebrity members – Louie, Lauren and Sophie – who have been given some very stylish outfits to wear by Big Brother. Check out their get-up in the gallery above, those polo necks need to be seen to be believed.

The rest of the main housemates eventually rose from their slumber, and some beautiful friendships seem to be forming already. Abz, Dustin and Ron bonded over breakfast in the garden, while Carol and Charlotte shared some TV tales in the bedroom. Are they going to be best of buds, or is this just a bit of getting-to-know-you small talk? We’ll soon find out.

One final observation: you know it’s Celebrity Big Brother when the housemates are wearing sunglasses inside. Strong look, Carol. We like it.

It's just like old times for Bruce and Vicky

It was going to take a lot to top last night’s star guest Helen Flanagan, but we think we’ve gone and hit the jackpot.

Returning to BBBOTS HQ this evening are two very special members of Celebrity Big Brother’s Hall of Fame. No, it’s not Chantelle and Preston. And no, it’s not George Galloway and Rula Lenska either.

Joining Rylan and AJ in the studio tonight is none other thanSPEIDI!

Well, almost. Last series’ runners-up will be defying the great ocean between us and coming straight to your telly screen via Skype.

Do you think Rylan will be happy to see his old friends? You’ll have to tune in to find out.

Meanwhile, we’ve got Mario's TOWIE co-star and Gok Wan lookalike Bobby Cole Norris on the panel. He’ll be accompanied by Charlotte’s close pal, Geordie Shore’s Holly Hagan, and BBBOTS regular Patrick Strudwick.

Channel 5. 10.30pm. You do not want to miss out, believe us.

Our Cult of Celebrity members have been getting a bit restless in their secret temple this afternoon. They’re itching to get in the House and meet their fellow celebs, who they’ve been analysing closely over the last 24 hours. So to cure their impatience, Big Brother handed the three of them an interesting task to get to grips with.

Louie, Lauren and Sophie were given 20 minutes to come up with three questions for each of the housemates they haveshortlisted for nomination. Once they’ve done that, they’ll get to watch Big Brother quiz their victims so they can get to know them better.

It sounds like a simple task, doesn’t it? But not for the Cult of Celebrity. They mulled over topics such as childhood, cosmetic surgery, same sex marriage, life ambitions and, umm, fashion inspirations for a good while, confused about how to probe their celebrity chums. The latter topic was the choice of Sophie’s, as you might’ve guessed.

After encouragement from Big Brother, they settled on a mix of light-hearted and deep-digging questions for their chosen three. Stay tuned for the answers...

If there’s one thing we didn’t expect to witness in 2013, it would probably be Les Battersby having his feet fake tanned by an Irish Botox surgeon. But this is Celebrity Big Brother, where the unexpected becomes the completely ordinary...

Looks a bit like gravy, doesn't it?

The Green Room is awash with fake tan, glossy locks and bling. It can only mean one thing – Charlotte and Marios's co-stars Holly Hagan (Geordie Shore) and Bobby Cole Norris (TOWIE) have arrived. We pinned the pair down and got them to spill the beans...

Will Charlotte and Mario be keeping it real in the House?

Holly: Charlotte will be totally herself. She can't be anything but. She didn't care what she looked like when she came in. She talked about s***ting and p**sing in her VT and she'll be the same in the House. People should take a leaf out of her book. When they had to choose the most famous housemate last night and she didn't agree, she didn't just sit back and take it when she could have.

Bobby: He does put up a front, he's a bit of a boy with a bit of swag. A lot of Mario is show so people might not trust him. He probably won't be a shoulder to cry on.

Will they make good housemates?

Holly: she'll annoy everyone in the House. She annoyed me in the Geordie Shore house and I'm her friend! The public will love her though. She'll be farting but she'll say excuse me. Sometimes she get up at 6am and cleans our whole house because she's bored.

Bobby: I think he'll hit it off with Abz and try and get into Courtney's knickers. It's the first time he's been single but even if he wasn't, that wouldn't stop him. If he can, he'll try and get his end away. As a friend he's great but as a boyfriend you'd want to shoot him. In the last series of TOWIE he was the love rat so he won't have to do much to come across better in Celebrity Big Brother.

Do you think they will have a game plan?

Holly: Charlotte won't have a game plan but she's not stupid. People will think she is some ditzy thing but she really isn't. She knows lots of intelligent words and she's really clever.

Bobby: Mario is a good watcher, a real observer. Whether he has a plan or not,I don't know. He has a butch exterior but I won't be surprised to see him having a cig with Louie.

Can Charlotte or Mario win?

Holly: Yes! I'd put my House on it.

Bobby: If he can keep it in his pants.
