CELEBRITY Big Brother fans have hailed the house the “best ever” after Emma Willis showed off the diary room for the first time during tonight’s launch show.

Although bosses had released the first pictures of the house earlier this week, they had kept the diary room a secret until this evening.

Emma, 42, led viewers on a tour around the house before taking them to the elusive room.

The seat is covered in velvet and is shaped in a circle – just like the eye of the storm.

After seeing it for the first time, fans said it was the most creative they’ve seen and praised Channel 5 bosses.

One tweeted: “I f***ing love that diary room chair!”

 She explained it was designed to look like the 'eye of the storm' which is the theme of this series

Another wrote: “LOVE the diary room chair!! The house looks amazing too.”

While a third said: “Omg the diary room is so cool and creative!”

A fourth added: “This house is the best ever!”

Tonight’s live launch will see 12 big name stars enter the completely refurbished house.

Bosses chose a Love Island themed décor for the pad, complete a luxurious hot tub, pool and funky bar.

This series has been the most costly ever – with the big name stars commanding fees that total £2.3million.

Former Emmerdale actress Roxanne signed a deal worth £750,000 along with Stormy who signed on the dotted line for the same figure.

The series will last for a total of three weeks, with Emma 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.

The future of the hit show remains in doubt as bosses try and work out whether to continue the pricey franchise or end on a high note.

For now, they’re throwing money at celebrities in a bid to inject life into the format which some fans have branded “tired”.

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.
