Celebrity Big Brother 2024 LIVE — Lauren breaks down in tears after shock nominations as Sharon Osbourne slams Adele

Granny and Grandpa

Sharon and Louis are giving off doddery grandparent vibes as they sit there and judge the housemates.

Firstly, Sharon hasn't got the diddly dickens who anyone is and Louis almost seems to be reading the names from a CRIB sheet.

Their reaction to David has been the best so far and this fan sums it up perfectly: "Louis and Sharon watching David enter is like introducing your flamboyant pal to your nan and grandparents and them trying to be polite..'oh interesting'," she said.

Potty Potts

David Potts is currently living his best life in very tiny shorts.

He seems completely overwhelmed with being in the house and Sharon and Louis aren't....sure.

"Oh dear," Sharon said. Before quickly backtracking. "Interesting!" she added. Meow!

From across the pond

Marisha Wallace is this series' American housemate and she has already shown off her incredible set of pipes.

At least she can keep the housemates entertained when things start to get boring in there.

Louis 'recognised' her straight away.... after reading our exclusive lineup story in The Sun.

Hiding behind the sofa

Gary Goldsmith has already made it PERFECTLY clear that he is Kate Middleton's uncle. #Namedrop

He's told the nation that the Princess Of Wales will be "hiding behind her sofa" if she has decided to tune in.

AJ asked which sofa and he replied: "It will be a nice one, in a nice house."

Will she be tuning in? Let's hope so.

Quick recap

We are just over 30 minutes in and already the house is filling up.

To recap, Sharon Osbourne was first through the doors and seemed to not know what time of day it was.

She was followed by her good friend Louis Walsh, who has clearly never watched Big Brother before.

Together, they are hiding in their secret lair and choosing three celebs worthy of being evicted.

Strictly's Nikita, Love Island's Ekin-Su and Corrie's Colson are now in

Who is next... Gary Goldsmith!

Frontrunner Colson

He's only been on our screens for a few minutes, but fans are already convinced Colson Smith could be the next CBB winner.

They're loving his nice-guy attitude, plus, the Corrie fanbase is MEGA.

One CBB viewer has predicted on X: "Tell you what, don’t underestimate the Corrie fans on an ITV1 series of Celebrity Big Brother. Think Colson could make it all the way to the final. Seems like a nice lad."

A holiday

Colson Smith has admitted he is on 'his holiday' and living his schoolboy dream of going on Big Brother.

Let's hope he's still loving it as much in a few days' time.

His entrance was fantastic. Is it just me or did he just walk into the front door...?

Grecian goddess

Okay, so Ekin-Su is Turkish but she looks like a Grecian goddess in that gorgeous dress.

The best bit about all of this is Louis Walsh filling Sharon Osbourne in on who on earth Ekin-Su is.

"Ekin-Su is her name...." he explained. Already hilarious.

Pretty boy

Sharon is judging Nikita purely on his looks.

Well, I suppose she's hasn't got much else to go on right now.

Anyway, next up - another pretty one. It's Ekin-Su!

Dance the night away

Wowzers. Nikita Kuzmin is making a very Strictly Come Dancing-style entrance with that ensemble.

Look at all those ruffles AND the pearl earring.

Fab-u-lous!

Mixed reviews

It's a mixed reaction to Sharon and Louis' big entrances into the Celebrity Big Brother house.

Are you going to love them or will you be hiding behind your sofa as they plot to chuck someone out?

In the know

Now obviously we've heard all the rumours of who is going into the CBB house, but the celebs were supposed to be kept in the dark.

Louis seems to have dropped the bomb that he already knows the lineup.

He doesn't appear to know much else, however.

Come again?

Has Louis Walsh ever watched an episode of Celebrity Big Brother?

He just told AJ and Will he would be seeing them every day.

Let's hope Sharon knows what is going on, although it's unlikely given that she thinks it is the morning...

You remind me of...

Louis Walsh, of course! Big Brother is certainly bringing out the big guns from the word go.

Louis apparently only agreed to sign up to CBB if his best pal Sharon Osbourne entered the house - and he already knows she's in there.

He rumbled that one, didn't he... Whoops!

Good morning

Sharon is obviously still getting over her jet lag.

"Good morning," she told Big Brother.

As hoped, Sharon has said she won't be behaving herself AND she's been given a secret task. Get in!

Sharon has to judge the celebs and put three up for nomination. She's loving it, and so are we.

Is she is

Sharon Osbourne... the housemate we have ALL been waiting for.

Rumour was that she wasn't going to enter the show until a few days in, but here she is on opening night. And first up!

Such a shame that she's only going in as a houseguest though. We need her for the full series!

Lady in red

Well, AJ Odudu is looking just sizzling in her red outfit.

She is the queen of catsuits and this one certainly doesn't disappoint, does it?

AJ is on fire! Will is looking pretty dapper too, obvs.

Health scare

Host Will Best has updated fans in the last hour to say he has suffered a health scare.

He even joked that he might be running late to the show, as a paramedic had to give him the all clear.

Thank goodness he made it in time!
