Big Brother unveiled itself to the world once more last night with a multitude of characters on display.

The 12 entered last night with only a small overnight bag with bare essentials.

The series promises to be the nastiest ever with one unlucky contestant being denied their belongings for the whole series in a tonight's challenge.

And there could be a bit of friction in store within the house.

After presenter Davina McCall revealed that openly gay Marco's pet hate was refugees. Accordingly, the next man in was former Somalian asylum seeker Ahmed Aghil, 44.

Conversely, Ahmed admitted he is openly homophobic.

Jason then arrived, sporting a bow-tie and thong outfit, and was followed by gay hairdresser Daniel Bryan, 30.

The male line-up was completed by the arrival of Stuart Wilson, 20, a psychology student from Macclesfield and Victor Ebuwa, 23, a gap-year student from London.

The first female to arrive was former model Vanessa Nimmo, 26, from Leeds.

But the biggest stir was caused by feminist lesbian Kitten Pinder, 24 - who made a scene as she demanded to see lover Lianda Gibson.

She stormed towards the crowd shouting: "Where is she?" and made gestures to the press as the booing crowd looked on shocked.

23-year-old Michelle Bass, a bi-sexual topless model from Newcastle, mae a startling confession.

"I love sex and porn, what do you think about that," she exclaimed.

"I pull every weekend, attractive men and ladies."

Scot Shell Jubin, a History Of Art student, the dippy Emma Greenwood, and transsexual Nadia complete the 12.
