Things have already kicked off to an explosive start.
In the very first episode of the ITV edition of the iconic social experiment, dancer Olivia was put up for eviction in a cruel twist.
As they entered the new "vast" house at Garden Studios, Big Brother threw a little housewarming party for the 16 new guests.
To break the ice, they were tasked with playing party games, which included pass the parcel.
However, when the music stopped and each housemate opened the box, they were asked a question but with disastrous consequences.
Jenkin was asked who the most difficult housemate to live with was, and he chose Olivia as he felt the pair had not "gelled".

As a result Olivia was the first contestant put up for eviction coming up this Friday night.
When the games came to an end, Olivia practically stormed away from the circular sofa area and declared that she "couldn't be a***d" to speak to Jenkin when he came over to apologise.
