Big Brother house rocked as secret housemates with shady pasts cause chaos

BIG Brother dealt their most dramatic twist ever when halfway through the series premiere viewers were introduced to ‘The Others’.

With their own house and facilities, the six potential housemates were blindfolded and placed in jumpsuits, before being put in their new garden.

They were then told that in order to gain access into the main house, they would have to target and take down the current housemates and acquire their place.

They have to keep their existence a secret from the main house and must work as one in order to succeed.

What they don’t know is that some of them already know the main housemates - and sparks are sure to fly when they realise they will be stuck with their enemy for the duration of their BB experience.

In the first episode, The Others were given dolls that represented housemate character traits, as the real housemates had to stand on a podium in the garden with the word they felt represented them best.

Being forced to choose a housemate trait they liked the least, The Others decided to pick the person that considered their main character trait ‘sexy’- which turned out to be 30-year-old Laura Carter.

Big Brother then made Laura take centre stage and choose another housemate for eviction in front of her new roomies – and she picked Lateysha.

So who are The Others? And what is their connection to the new housemates?

Andrew Tate

A professional kickboxer who is not afraid to ruffle a few feathers, he believes that ‘arrogance is subjective’.

He also says he "doesn't see a problem with a man having as many women as he wants."

Is he set to confront his past when he finally gets into the main house?

Charlie Doherty

A 31-year-old former stripper from Kent who has admitted that she is a serial cheat.

She said she "doesn't like show offs that think it's all about them."

Does she already know one of the housemates? And is it for a good reason?

Hughie Maughan

The 21-year-old Irish lad has only just come out to his family as bisexual and now has his eyes set firmly on the prize as he becomes one of the Others.

He said he hopes there's someone he hates in the house - as he "loves a good argument."

Has Big Brother granted his wish?

Jayne Connery

A former airport worker turned glamour model, this sassy housemate made headlines after an affair with footballer John Terry.

Now working as a private investigator, has the 49-year-old managed to scope out one of her competitors already...?

Natalie Rowe

A former madam who alleges she once 'snorted cocaine with Chancellor George Osborne', she refers to herself as a ‘ticking timebomb’ and 'refuses to be a mother in the house'.

Is one of her former clients about to make a reappearance...?

Ryan Ruckledge

Self- proclaimed "in your face and extremely annoying", Ryan was previously known for being on the X Factor.

But he was unceremoniously booted off the show after one drink too many in the judges houses.

If someone manages to anger Simon Cowell you have to ask...has Ryan also managed to upset someone in the house already?

Watch the action unfold on Big Brother at 9pm weekdays, Channel 5.
