Celebrity Big Brother is back, this year’s housemates are settling in and the antics are in full swing.
Months after the reality series titan returned to ITV, the celebrity version has been resurrected in the hope of repeating the success of the most recent civic series, which was won by Jordan Sangha in November.
Contestants include X factor judge Louis Walsh – who has already shocked viewers with an ‘incredibly rude’ comment – Island of love winner Ekin-Su and Kate Middleton’s uncle Gary Goldsmith, the latter of whom addressed his niece’s whereabouts after weeks of speculation.
Sharon Osbourne is also on the show, but as a “celebrity lodger”, with her own private room. The star that joins its fellow X factor Judge Walsh, is expected to be on the series for just a few days.
Previous versions of Celebrity Big Brother have created TV gold, from Tiffany Pollard’s iconic David’s Dead misunderstanding to George Galloway and Rula Lenska’s creepy cat cosplay.

Lauren and Louis rule violation detected
Big Brother gathered the housemates on the sofas and shared: “It’s against the rules for housemates to discuss the nominations with each other and that includes speculation or guessing who has nominated whom or who may nominate whom in the future. This morning that rule was broken by Louis and Lauren.
Big Brother read Louis and Lauren’s conversation to the rest of the house, including Lauren, who refers to Zeze when she says: “She hates me.”
Big Brother asks Lauren to get up. Lauren says, “I’m sorry for putting you all in this situation. I was talking about my emotions and how I felt about the nomination.
“Honestly, I live with a group of people that I love and adore, and I’m upset that several different people, and not just one person, nominated me. I regret putting everyone in this situation and I apologize.”
Louis Walsh said he had nothing to say because he had done the talking. Lauren is in tears when she is told she will have to be in the Wheelie Bin of Shame.
