CELEBRITY Big Brother viewers were left in a spin after the live launch of what fans said was the "weirdest" series yet.

The two hour extravaganza this evening, which saw 13 famous faces enter the house, included Kirstie Alley being crowned President with Ryan Thomas as her deputy, Dan Osborne and Gabby Allen’s very friendly greeting and some bizarre behaviour from Human Ken Doll Rodrigo Alves.

This year's housemates have all been picked because of the "media storms" they have each been involved in and they lived up to their reputations straight away.

The drama kicked off as Gabby and Dan came face to face for the first time following rumours of an affair between them.

The former Love Island star followed the ex-Towie castmember into the house and they looked really pleased to see each other after being accused of sleeping together in Spain.

It was Chloe Ayling who made sure all eyes were on her as she became the fourth person to enter - wearing a skimpy pink glitter dress.

The 21-year-old, who was the victim of a horrifying kidnapping, was met in the house by Kirstie Alley, who was the first person to enter the famous abode.

The 67-year-old actress made a glamorous entrance in a purple and sparkly ensemble and didn't wait long to raise eyebrows.

Those watching at home were baffled by Kirstie's behaviour and accused her of being drunk.

She was immediately summoned to the Diary Room,where told she has been made the President of the CBB house, to which she quipped: "Do you get assassinated for that?"

She was told that she would have special powers and privileges, but that she must not let her fellow housemates know her secret role until they are all inside the house.

She had to ask her co-stars questions about themselves in order to help the public to vote for one of them to become her vice president - the public ended up choosing Ryan Thomas..

Former Corrie star Ryan, 34, was the second person to the enter, and when he saw Kirstie, he shouted: "Look who's talking now!"

The third famous face to kick off his stint was bad boy footballer Jermaine Pennant, 35, who received a few boos.

Following Jermaine was glamour model Chloe Ayling, 21, who was forced into the spotlight after being kidnapped.

Unfortunately the model was viciously trolled over her terrifying ordeal when she was lured to Italy under the guise of a photo shoot before being drugged, abducted and held captive by Lucasz Herba.

Despite Chloe being totally vindicated by the courts when her kidnapper was sentenced to more than 16 years in prison, some trolls have accused her of lying.

Plastic surgery addict Rodrigo Alves, 35, became the fifth housemate to enter the house, who has already threatened to quit the show if he doesn't get given luxury items.

Housemate Gabby Allen, 26, followed Dan shortly behind, looking incredible in a a bra top and suit.

Next up was Hardeep Singh Kohli, 49, who is known for being suspended from the one show.

Housemate number nine was Married At First Sight’s Ben Jardine, 37.

Former Emmerdale actress Roxanne Pallett, 35, was the tenth star to enter the house.

She left fans stunned as she slapped her boobs and licked a stain off her top as she walked down the famous stairs - despite having nothing on her.

The thirteenth and final housemate for the night was rogue trader Nick Leeson, 51.

The chic number, designed by Zeynep Kartal, flattered her figure perfectly, while her cropped hair was styled in a dramatic quiff, which went down very well with her fans.

She kicked off the show by taking viewers around the new-look CBB house, which took 12 weeks to create and includes a concealed staircase for the first time in several years.

Emma said the house has "more cameras than ever before", and unveiled the bathroom, which has walls with holes in.

She said the house was "designed to feel like a retreat for the celebrities", away from the "media storms" they have each been involved in.

And she gave the first look at the brand new diary room - with a high tech chair.

The series will last for a total of three weeks, with Emma Willis hosting the show tonight and throughout the live evictions.

Rylan Clark-Neal is back hosting Big Brother’s Bit On The Side which will air straight after the main show ends.

As well as given the house an overhaul, earlier this week The Sun Online exclusively revealed how bosses had ditched the show’s cameramen and replaced them with robots.

The Microsoft Azure Media Analytics system recognises facial expressions, language and keywords to effectively pin point dramatic moments – meaning producers don’t have to pour over hours of footage to pull out the best bits

Following the launch tonight, Celebrity Big Brother continues every night, bar Saturdays, at 9pm on Channel 5.
