Christopher Biggins, Saira Khan and Katie Waissel led the charge as a new batch of stars entered the ‘Celebrity Big Brother’ house.
The latest series of the Channel 5 reality show got underway on Thursday (28 July) night, with host Emma Willis welcoming 15 familiar faces into the famous abode.

The trio were also joined by a host of other names of the worlds of reality TV, soaps, music and modelling including 80s singer and model Samantha Fox, ‘Geordie Shore’ star Marnie Simpson, Mob Wives’ Renee Graziano, US singer and model Aubrey O’Day and ‘X Factor’ wannabe-turned-millionaire-business tycoon Chloe Khan.
