As one Big Brother ends another begins, with a new crop of brave (bored?) celebrities heading into the famous house last night. From Ex on the Beach to Page 3 there’s certainly a diverse mix of contestants. As for whether you’ve heard of them, well, that’s another story.

But how did the launch night go down with viewers?

Some were a little confused by the line-up.

Has #Biggins been in every season of #CBB?

I only know 1 person in the big brother house #cbb

Others haven’t quite got over the fact that ‘regular’ BB has only just finished:

I'm not used to all this new faces on #cbb I miss #bbuk just a little ????):

Some already have favourites…

… while others have hopes for next Friday’s eviction:

Omg heavy D is gonna be annoying ???? #cbb #BBBOTS

Honestly Frankie is so annoying that I'm considering just not watching #cbb until he gets evicted

While there are fans very happy with the goings on in the house…

… a certain Vicky Pattison is not impressed with her ex Stephen Bear mentioning her on the show

Wow…. Just stop talking about me man… Allow it… Pathetic… Want to be on a reality to show these days?! Just drop my name #shoein ????????

Biggins went on to get some power as the Secret Boss, but we were really too distracted by his dancing to worry about that too much.

So @onebiggins is the Secret Boss! But all is not as it seems… #CBB https://t.co/CaX8y55m12

And don’t be calling him Christopher…

I like that he's now now just 'Biggins' rather than Christopher. He's joined the one name club alongside Adele, Madonna and Dappy. #cbb

Ex on the Beach’s Stephen Bear (as he must be known. Not Vicky Pattison’s ex, yeah?) has already created a highlight of the series, by getting Ricky Norwood’s EastEnders character wrong.

Bear calling Fatboy 'Fat Guy' is already my highlight #CBB

Meanwhile Audley Harrison is just impressed with the lies:

That is friggin hilarious … I have been speaking to @THEJamesWhale all week & he told me he had to go away … Good one James ???????? #CBB

— Audley Harrison MBE (@audleyharrison) July 28, 2016

But we’ll leave the reaction with the voice of CBB himself, suggesting what could possibly be one of the worst outcomes of this series…
