The pair were given the chance to grant immunity to one other housemate after winning the electrician task in last night's show and they chose Maggie.

As they announced their decision to the others, Amanda, 82, said: "The house needs stability and fair judgement and the warmth that we can run to...

"We saved... Maggie."

Maggie rushed over to the pair to give them a hug, and admitted she was flattered but she had actually been hoping to go home.

She said: "I wanted to go home next week, but I love you both anyway."

Amanda added: "We thought you'd be a stabilising force in this rocky world."

Fellow housemate Rachel Johnson then added: "No hard feelings."

The former Coronation Street star then admitted it was a "pig of a job" to pick one housemate from the rest of the group.

The first full episode of the show, which airs on Channel 5 at 9pm tonight, is packed with drama.

Amanda gave her thoughts on the Harvey Weinstein scandal that rocked Hollywood last year, and branded women "stupid" for sleeping with the shamed movie producer.

The 82-year-old made the comment as the women quizzed her about sexual harassment in the movie industry, as they settled in for their first night in the Celebrity Big Brother house.

The actress, who has appeared in films such as Carry On Cleo, said: “When it comes to the Harvey Weintstein bit I just think someone should have said ‘listen it’s not really worth it darling, I would rather not get the part’.”

Former politician Ann Widdecombe appeared to agree with her saying: “There was a choice there.”

The women then pushed Amanda to find out if she was ever asked to sleep with a director for a role and she replied: “It was always being indicated.

“If you are stupid enough to go to bed with somebody because you want the part… I just don’t get it.”
