David Potts - Ibiza Weekender's breakout star has left that show behind - as well as his trousers by the look of things
Marisha Wallace - It's not CBB without the role of 'American who doesn't know what they've let themselves in for' and she's doing brilliantly
Nikita Kuzmin - The Strictly pro is coming onto the show fresh off the show's tour. Poor lad probably just wants a rest
Zeze Millz - the social media star has a "no holds barred interview style" - and she hasn't backed away from calling people (well, Louis) out
Bradley Riches - The actor played kindly James McEwan in Netflix hit Heartstopper and he seems just as sweet in the house

Levi Roots - The Reggae Reggae Sauce inventor time is up in the house and he was evited third
Sharon Osbourne - TV legend was a "house guest" on a megabucks deal and an ensuite bedroom, but disappeared after nine days
Lauren Simon - Real Housewives of Cheshire star was the second person to leave. The stars put her up for eviction and the public did the rest
Gary Goldsmith - Kate Middleton's uncle was a big signing for ITV, but he was booted out first after failing to impress viewers
We exclusively told how of their gripes after she bagged a spot on the ITV show, despite trying themselves to land similar reality gigs.
A source told The Sun: "The other Housewives Of Cheshire are not impressed that Lauren got the gig because they feel like she has been favoured over them and they don’t get why.
"She left The Real Housewives for a few years, yet others like Tanya were there from the beginning and haven’t had the same opportunity.
"She stuck by the show the whole time and Lauren didn’t, yet Lauren is the one that’s been given this amazing new platform by ITV."
The source added: "A lot of them have had meetings for various shows like the jungle and Dancing On Ice over the years but never got any of them, and now they feel Lauren has just walked into this.
"It’s caused a lot of bad feeling.”
