And now in its 20th series, the show has returned to charity by giving the celebrities chance to win a whopping £50,000 for their personally selected charitable organisations.

Shaun Williamson, ​Sarah Harding and ​Brandi Glanville led the stars entering the show.

The former EastEnders star, the Girls Aloud singer and the American television personality were joined in the famous abode by Made in Chelsea's Sam Thompson, spiritual medium ​Derek Acorah and Hollyoaks star ​Paul Danan.

On entering the house, Sarah was excited about getting a chance to show people who she really is.

She told host Emma Willis: "I have no idea [what I was expecting] but all I can say is that it's now time for the public to see the real Sarah ...I'm bricking it. I just never thought I would get this far.

"I want people to see where I came from. I started in reality television so why not go back there? I’ve been in a girl band and I don’t like it."

As the first housemate into the famous abode, Shaun was set a special task where he had to show a severe case of first night nerves. When each of the contestants arrived, Shaun had to convince his fellow housemates that he was getting more and more nervous.

His final task of the night was to nominate a rock - who he would stick by throughout the night - and he opted for Gogglebox's Sandi Bogle. He then had to keep her inside the house, even with the temptation of a champagne party out in the garden.

But what Shaun doesn't know is that he is playing for immunity and to make it all even more exciting, there could be a killer nomination making an appearance too.

The first Celebrity Big Brother eviction will take place next Tuesday and the show will return to screens on Wednesday night.
