Last night Celebrity Big Brother 20 launched and a whole host of celebrities entered the most famous house on TV.

First in was former EastEnders star Shaun Williamson, who went into the house to cheers of "Barry" in reference to his character in the show. Once inside he was called to the diary room and set a secret task of acting as nervous as possible around the contestants and undertaking a number of tasks such as giving out hugs and getting other celebs to join in sing songs.

The men this year are made up mostly of reality stars including Sam Thompson from Made In Chelsea, Jordan Davies from Ex On The Beach and American Chad Johnson from The Bachelorette. A last minute addition to the line-up was The Apprentice star Karthik Nagesan, best known for being fired on the spot.

Former Girls Aloud singer Sarah Harding was the first woman to enter the house, with many hoping she'd spill the beans on her famous fallout with Cheryl. However she has already stated she won't talk about what happened and told host Emma Willis that she "Doesn't like confrontation". Here's our gallery of the full line-up:
