Celebrity Big Brother 2017 kicks off with Ray J plugging Kim Kardashian sex tape, Speidi plotting and a hilarious reunion between Calum Best and his MUM Angie
CELEBRITY Big Brother 2017 has kicked off with another star-studded launch night, as old faces meet new celebrities in the house.
Emma Willis greeted a host of famous faces on the world famous catwalk, with everyone from reality stars to musicians and actors joining forces.
The star shone out in a glittering gold jacket and a smart white shirt, as she got the crowd screaming from start to finish, before saying: "We all know what happens when stars collide? They go pop."
Emma then promptly promised a "big surprise" in the launch show, which would see the stars go head to head in a first task.
First to enter the house was married couple and reality TV stars Heidi Montag and Spencer Pratt.
The pair wore matching leather jackets complete with logos on the catwalk, as Heidi said in her opening VT: "Spencer and I are there to win."
The pair referenced their past fight with Rylan Clark when they appeared in their last series, before Heidi said: "I wasn't satisfied how we left last time, we need to go in and leave our mark this time."
Spencer then joked: "Feel free to boo, I haven't had any boos in three years."
Heidi added: "You thought we played the game well last time," before Spencer added: "But you've not seen anything yet."
The second housemate to enter was James Jordan, who branded himself the "Brad Pitt of the dance world".
Addressing his controversial tweets, he said: "99.9% of the time, I'm right."
He added: "If you want me to salsa you can f*** off."
Next up to enter the house was Jasmine Waltz, who promised to make "more mistakes" following her controversial last appearance, where she enjoyed a romance with Blue star Lee Ryan.
Wearing a plunging black jumpsuit, Jasmine said in her VT: "You might know me for being a big slut.
"I was involved in this ridiculous love triangle. It ruined my entire existence in the house. This time you get to watch me make the same mistakes over again I'm sure.
"If there's hot guys, that's a challenge... You know that I'm weak."
She added: "I'm not a shy person, show me your t*ts."
Asked if she still has the same taste in men by Emma, Jasmine joked: "No, I still like idiots."
These stars were then taken into a separate room, where they were told they were effectively running the show as "producers", creating tasks and challenges for their fellow housemates.
They were also given the power to "edit out" housemates they didn't like in the line-up.
Meanwhile, next up in the New Stars camp was Kim Kardashian's ex Ray J.
He joked: "You might also know me for my d***.
Ray J added in his opening VT: "You might know my cousin Snoop Dog. I'm a grown man and a grown boss.
"People know about the sex tape with Kim Kardashian, order it, get me some money. People are still j***ing off over that sex tape."
As Emma said: "I love how British you're looking", Ray J joked: "I need a passport."
However, viewers were quick to accuse the star of making another dig at Kanye West.
After joking about his famous sex tape with Kanye’s wife, the American rapper than entered the house while his track ‘I Hit It First’ blasted across the set.
Bianca Gascoigne was soon to join Ray J, as she said: "I'm feisty and opinionated."
She added: "If there's someone in there I find attractive, I will see what happens. I've kissed on camera and I would again."
Bianca went on: "I'm ready to go in there and take Big Brother by the balls."
Comparing herself to a "mermaid", Bianca met co-star Ray J with a huge smile, before announcing he sang her favourite hit song.
Next up was an old face in the shape of "fabulous b**** Austin Armacost", who referenced his last romance with James in his opening VT.
He said: "I've just broken up with my fiance of nine years, so I'm looking for some eye candy."
Austin went on: "Nightmare housemate, Heidi and Spencer. She's plastic. I wouldn't want to be in a house with them for 30 minutes."
Emma then revealed he'd be joining Speidi and the rest of the "producers" as part of the shock twist.
Coleen Nolan joined them, as she announced: "I'm now a very Loose Woman," before adding: "If my gut instinct tells me someone's fake, I'll speak up."
She concluded: "This is going to be a house from hell."
Emma then welcomed Games of Thrones star James Cosmo, who admitted he'll miss listening to Eminem, before comparing his CBB experience to skiing a black run.
X Factor USA star Stacy Francis was next in the house, and she immediately referenced her famous row with the late Whitney Houston in her opening VT.
She admitted: "I had a fight with Whitney Houston two days before she died. Obviously not ideal. I could cry right now but I don't want to upset my make-up artist over here."
Wearing a floor-length glittering gown, the star made a VERY dramatic entrance.
Joining her was DJ Brandon Block, who spoke about being part of the "biggest music revolution" ever, before joking: "I was more interested in being off my nut".
The star revealed it has impacted his health, before pretended to forget his train of thought in his opening VT.
Brandon greeted host Emma with a hug, as he covered up in a coat and a black woolly hat.
The eleventh housemate was model Nicola McLean, who promised some "good TV".
Speaking in her opening VT, the star referenced allegations her husband Tom Williams had cheated, adding: "My husband behaved like a d***, but we worked and we’re happy. What? Is everyone’s husband perfect?
"I did have a lot of lows in there, and a lot I still haven’t lived out.
"I’m just good TV."
"I went through a stage when I was stupid spending stupid amounts of money. I bought my ex wife a white Bentley. That was an expensive day.
"I think people have a massively wrong perception of me. I;'d be scared about having a row with someone because I don't take any s***."
The next housemate was Calum Best, who spoke affectionately about his mum Angie.
He immediately referenced his fight with Perez Hilton, and added: "If someone's rude to me they'll f***ing know about it."
He went on: "I'm single, a red blooded male, so anything could happen. Watch this space."
He promised: "Besty's back."
In a surprise twist, the final housemate was Calum's mum Angie - the former wife of George Best.
Speaking about the first time they met, she joked: "He forgot to tell his girlfriend he'd invited someone else down."
And speaking about her son, she added: "I aged 100 years."
Shockingly, Calum has no idea his mum is heading in, as she's kept it a secret from him.
Seeing his mum for the first time, Calum was gobsmacked as he said: "That's my mum."
He then added: "I mean we're close, but this is my time. Oh, bless her."
The official line-up for series 19 of the hit Five reality show was previously revealed by The Sun .
The "producers" were finally tasked with choosing a new star to be "edited out" of the show, and they all unanimously chose Stacy - leaving the singer in tears as she was banished outside.
The two camps were then reunited in an explosive finale, as Calum saw his mum for the first time, and asked her what she was thinking.
Asking when she was told she'd been accepted on to the show, Angie appeared to say "October" leaving viewers shocked.
So far seven returning stars have been confirmed, as well as seven new contestants that are making their CBB debut.
And in a shock twist, there will be two new faces joining them this Friday, with bosses keeping the secret names under wraps until then.
Those returning are; American singer Nicola McLean, American model Austin Armacost, Loose Women star Coleen Nolan, married The Hills stars Spencer Pratt and Heidi Montag (who count as one contestant as they would be evicted together), British model Calum Best, ex-Strictly star James Jordan, and American model Jasmine Waltz.
New entering the house are; American singer Stacy Francis, radio DJ Brandon Block, footballer Jamie O’Hara, Kim Kardashian’s sex tape co-star Ray J, model Bianca Gascoigne, Calum Best’s mum Angie, and Game of Thrones star James Cosmo.
