Sixteen new ‘housemates’ have walked through the doors to the Big Brother house…… but not as real housemates.

Within minutes of them all arriving, Big Brother revealed that no one was yet an official housemate and that they would have to earn their status to remain in the house. Those who fail or refuse a task will be left at the mercy of the public as to if they will be granted housemate status.

On Sunday night any non-housemates will leave and be met by Davina during a special live show direct from the house.

Here they are! Hurray!
