Since the launch of Celebrity Big Brother last night (and in the days leading up to it thanks to the leak of the whole line-up), people across the country have been calling a romance between Marnie Simpson and Lewis Bloor.

‘I’m really looking forward to seeing what birds are in there, ‘ he revealed.

“Our reputation is everything – that’s what we ride on – and I think after having my baby and building myself back up, to go in there, which sometimes it is a circus – you don’t know what nutter is going to be in there – would be silly”.

The 30-year-old is known for being one of the ITV talent show’s most controversial contestants ever after appearing in 2010 and getting into a long-running feud with former judge Cheryl. OK excuse me sir.

James laughed off the remark and explained he had a “strange sense of humour”, saying: “I’m winding you up”.

‘She’s very nervous about going in, but I said, ‘There’s nothing to be nervous about!’ She’ll be fantastic. I don’t think she’ll have sex, but she’ll neck on.

Rylan, the host of CBB companion show Big Brother’s Bit On The Side, told Press Association: “I do like the villains because it takes a lot of bollocks for celebs to be the villains”.

Khan was the most successful at persuading the actor to nominate her, telling him that she did not think she could last in the house and that she was missing her two children.

Other celebrities to enter the house on Thursday included Broadway star and Ariana Grande’s brother Frankie Grande, Anthea Turner’s ex-husband Grant Bovey, Mob Wives star Renee Graziano and former Danity Kane singer Aubrey O’Day.
