A very glam Gemma Collins was first to make her way into the house, but sadly didn’t receive cheers from the live audience.

But she confidently announced: "People go on about my weight so much. But it's my business not yours. And you know what? You can all kiss my rather large a**e!" So there you have it.

Let’s hope she lasts longer than she did on I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here!

Someone who did get a handful of cheers, however, was John Partridge, AKA Christian from Eastenders.
