AJ Odudu and Will Best took over as the hosts of the Big Brother UK franchise when ITV decided to bring the series back.
The commercial broadcaster also created a new spin-off show called Late And Live to replace the beloved Bit On The Side format.
It featured a regular panel of rotating guests as well as an audience of super fans who would regularly contribute to the show.
Last night saw the launch of the first celebrity instalment on ITV2 complete with a new series of the late night chat show with AJ and Will.
The episode saw various friends and family of the new famous housemates come on the show.
One of those was Ibiza Weekender star Ellie Young who opened up about her friend and co-star David Potts.
However, it just so happens that the personality also participated in the eighteenth series of Big Brother in Channel 5 in 2017.
This fact was completely omitted by the hosts of the hit series, something in which many fans took issue with.

Die-hard Big Brother enthusiasts were absolutely livid as they took to X - formerly known as Twitter - to vent their feelings.

A second enquired: "Like did no one think to say to AJ or Will that David's friend Ellie was from civilian Big Brother? #CBBUK."
"AJ & Will have NO idea that Ellie was once in the house 😬 #CBBUK #LateandLive," stated a third fan.
As a fourth raged: "The fact Will and AJ dont even know who Ellie is that she was an old housemate says it all, they are not Big Brother fans, also the audience are not BB fans they just want to be on a tv show."
They added: "Rylan and Emma were real BB fans and so was the audience, its not the same now #CBBUK."
Meanwhile, a fifth stated: "It also made me sad that Aj and Will didn’t even know who Ellie was… and In the previous series as well BB housemates from the past were also in the audience and they didn’t get acknowledged either. 😔 it’s just disappointing on ITV’s behalf."
And a sixth added: "AJ and Will to David’s friend Ellie during the break #CBBUK #LateandLive," alongside a short video clip of a teacher saying, 'shut the f*** up."

Celebrity Big Brother line-up
So who are the 13 stars expected to appear in the Celebrity Big Brother house? The Sun's Jamie Downham takes a look...
Sharon Osbourne - TV legend - who is thought to be on a megabucks deal - said she was doing the show for "a good time not a long time"
Louis Walsh - Irish boyband manager who has never knowingly backed down from a fight. Sure to be a huge presence in the house.
Ekin-Su Cülcüloğlu - We know from Love Island, the Ek-ster is not above throwing about some dramatics to claw her way to the final.
Levi Roots - Reggae Reggae Sauce sauce packs a bit of a kick, but its inventor seems quite mild-mannered. Will that change under pressure?
Fern Britton - The former This Morning star called out Phillip Schofield - don't think she won't do the same to anyone who tangles with her.
Colson Smith - You'll probably know him best as Corrie's Craig Tinker - but prepare to find out he's not much like his character.
David Potts - Ibiza Weekender's breakout star is sure to bring a bit of the party isle to the house... but will people appreciate it?
Gary Goldsmith - Kate Middleton's uncle is a big signing for ITV, but very much an unknown quantity among viewers.
Marisha Wallace - Top Broadway star may fill the brief of 'American who doesn't know what they've let themselves in for'.
Nikita Kuzmin - The Strictly pro is coming onto the show fresh off the show's tour. Poor lad probably just wants a rest.
Zeze Mills - the social media star has a "no holds barred interview style" - which is just what we need in there.
Bradley Riches - The actor played sweet James McEwan in Netflix hit Heartstopper. We'll soon find out what he's really like.
Lauren Simon - She's a Real Housewives of Cheshire star and you don't get on that show by being shy and retiring.
