Big Brother returned to the UK last night for a game which promised to be utterly different to all those which have come before it. Though the public will ultimately decide who takes home the win, there are some very unique styles of play and rules in place which should make for a dramatic summer.
But who will we be watching for the next few weeks? Take a look at all of the housemates below...
The Housemates
Alex Cannon, 27, Model and Personal Trainer
Having featured in campaigns for Men's Health and Adidas amongst others, Alex is Vicky Pattison's best mate and sidekick in her MTV series Judge Geordie.
Andy West, 34, Ex-BBC Journalist
Last year, Andy shot into the public eye after declaring he was "ashamed to work for the BBC" after they nominated "homophobic and misogynistic" Tyson Fury for the Sports Personality of the Year award. He was fired from his position after making the comments.
Chelsea Singh, 48, Self-Made Millionaire Entrepreneur
Living a lavish lifestyle, Chelsea owns a Bentley and has installed a cinema room into his house. He has a range of different business ventures and owns properties in Chelsea, Windsor, Erith, Sweden and Tenerife.
Emma & Victoria Jensen, 30, International DJs, Models and Dancers
Emma and Victoria will form one housemate this series. Emma never watches TV or reads newspapers, whilst Victoria feels strongly about raising awareness of the mistreatment of animals.
Evelyn Ellis, 20, Nightclub Hostess
Describing herself as "the most indecisive person you would have ever met", Evelyn admits she suffers from "chronic bitch face" and says she comes across as intimidating and stuck up.
Georgina Leigh Cantwell, 26, Unemployed
Despite attending the prestigious Parsons School of Design in New York City, Georgina doesn't have a job. She does however pride herself on being brutally honest and having a fiery attitude towards others.
Jackson Blyton, 24, Model
Since being discovered by a scout on the high street, Jackson has modelled since the age of 17. He also works for his Stepdad's company and was a gifted athlete in his school years.
Jason Burrill, 45, Property Developer and Salon Owner
Currently single, Jason is looking for love and not against the idea of finding it in the house. You may have seen his body before, as he's body doubled in films for the likes of Dave Bautista in such flicks as Spectre and Guardians of the Galaxy.
Lateysha Grace, 23, Job 'Not Known'
Formerly a star of MTV series The Valleys, Lateysha recently became a mother to her now seven-month-old daughter Wynter, who already has her own Instagram account. She calls herself the 'Welsh version of Beyoncé'.
Laura Carter, 30, Model, Dancer and Club Hostess
Claiming to have had sexual liaisons with a string of celebrities including Justin Bieber, Craig David and Calum Best, Laura says she comes across as 'butter wouldn't melt', but she's not afraid to use her sex appeal to get her own way.
Marco Pierre White Junior, 21, Model
Currently engaged and so not looking for romance in the house, Marco is the son and middle child of celebrity chef Marco Pierre White. Growing up with an extravagant lifestyle, he's aware that he hasn't had the same upbringing that many would go through.
Sam Giffen, 23, Hair Stylist and Model
Despite getting into college, Sam decided to leave after three months, moving into modelling and work. Single until January of last year when he met his first boyfriend, the pair split due to long distance, and so he's now single in the house.
So, there are our 12 official housemates! BUT, as Big Brother promised, all isn't as it seems this year in the house, with The Others moving into a compound next door. Though they're not yet official housemates, their goal will be to take out the actual housemates and steal their spot. But that's not all, as some of the housemates have connections to The Others, meaning a whole lot of drama could be headed our way...
The Others
Andrew Tate, 29, Four Time World Kickboxing Champion
As a member of Mensa, Andrew has won championships in kickboxing four times and claims that his trainer, his brother, is his only true friend. He believes a man should be able to sleep with as many women as they like, but says the same does not apply to the opposite sex.
Charlie Doherty, 31, Dancer and Entertainer
Having attended a strict Catholic school, Charlie rebelled and became a stripper. She admits she's a serial cheat and says she's been unfaithful in the majority of her relationships.
Hughie Maughan, 21, Youth Worker
Hughie is a bisexual traveller who's recently come out to some of his immediate family, despite coming from a strict Irish traveller background. Living on and off traveller sites throughout his life, he now currently lives on a site with his parents and younger sister.
Jayne Connery, 49, Private Investigator
Being a former glamour girl, Jayne says that life allowed her to have her fair share of flings with celebrities. Working as a journalist in the past, she's interviewed some big names including Dolly Parton, Dustin Hoffman and Joan Collins.
Natalie Rowe, 53, Job 'Not Known'
Natalie says she has supplied prostitutes to some incredibly wealthy clients, saying they include 'high-flying Tory politicans, City bankers, judges and A-listers.' Having operated the Black Beauties escort agency, she worked under the names Miss Whiplash and Mistress Pain.
Ryan Ruckledge, 24, Energy Broker
Ryan was a star on The X Factor last year, but was thrown off the show after being described by Simon Cowell as a 'horror of a human being'. A big fan of tanning injections, he gets them three times a week and gets on the sunbed six times a week.
