The cold, dark, January evenings are set to be filled with lots of drama over the coming weeks thanks to Celebrity Big Brother.
The 21st series of the reality show returned to our screens last night with an all-female line-up. The first 8 contestants to enter the house were:
Coronation Street legend Amanda Barrie
Glamour model Jess Impiazzi
Former detective Maggie Oliver
India Willoughby, the UK's first transgender newsreader
DJ, model and presenter Ashley James
Journalist and author Rachel Johnson
Reality TV star and Khloe Kardashian's BFF Malika Haqq

The first task of the series saw Amanda and Jess granted immunity from the first eviction.
