Celebrity Big Brother 18
(Friday) Episode 1 - The Live Launch Part 1

"PLEASE WELCOME YOUR HOST, EMMA WILLIS!" The annoyingly loud voice-over man, Marcus Bentley, narrates as the brand new sliding door entrance opens up to reveal the stunningly beautiful host, Emma Willis, who is wearing a floral white dress.

"Hello and welcome to Celebrity Big Brother!" The crowd go wild, chanting 'CBB' over and over again, until they let Emma finally speak. "Tonight we open the doors of the most famous house in Britain to 10 willing celebrities however not all that glitters is gold. Unbeknownst to them, they'll have 5 neighbours living in our brand new 'Other House'!" The audience, compiled of random people the producers scraped off the strewed, 'ooh' and 'ahh' at this shocking revaluation. "The Others will be trying to weave their way into the house because just one week before the finale, everybody left in that house will be booted out of the doors for good." She gestures a kicking motion, before continuing. "Now, out house has been off screen for just under two days, but it's allowed for a little make-over. It's taken the stark, monochrome feel and made it golden. You know what it needs now? Some housemates! Here's number 1 -"

Housemate Number 1

The camera pans over a shot of dark brown curly hair, and then some almost gothic, denim clothing. "Hi, I am Matthew Healy and people will probably best know me from English, Alternative Rock band 'The 1975'.

"People are probably wondering why I'm doing Celebrity Big Brother, when I have a booming music career and stable lifestyle!" He smiles, poking fun at the show. "It's no because I need the money, or that I'm desperate to get famous, I just really want to get to know new people. You don't get much time to socialise with people outside the industry so I suppose expanding your friend base is always a good thing."

The scene flicks from one of a dark context, to one with a bright and colourful background. "People who watch the show will know that my mum, Denise Welch, won the 2012 series so weather the game technique passes down generations, I don't know, but I'm not here to win. Honestly!"

"I've come past cocaine and heroin use in my past," Healy continues, the dimly lit background returning. "And although I considered using them so I can write from the gutter, I realised that I've come past that, I don't need to do it again. But I do need constant stimulation - weather that be love, sex, Celebrity Big Brother - it keeps my mind active so let's hope this show lives up toms expectations!"

Posing to the adoring fans and psycho journalists, for photos to up his papers the following day, Matty takes a confident approach to it and eventually meets Emma at the end. "Matty, lovely to see you! Now, you mentioned in your VT about your mum winning this show 4 years ago, has she given you any advice or are you going to wing it?"

After greeting the host with a peck on the cheek, Matty responds with an answer. "She just said be yourself, ignore the haters and do what I have to do. At the end of the day, it's my experience. I can't let anyone get in the way of that!"

"You also mentioned that you need constant simulation, like love and sex." Emma reminded the young adult, who wore a black and white polka dot shirt, the too few buttons undone. "Does that mean you'll be looking for love in the house or not?"

"No, don't be silly!" He chuckled. "You can't be a boyfriend, frontman and manager of a touring company all a once, without failing massively! The show, from what I have see, should be enough stimulation!"

Emma nodded. "Of course it will! I think it's time for you to get in, have a great time!"

Matty made his way up the irritably slow turning stairs, and into the house that had a few splashes of gold here and there. Making a swift walk down the stairs, he scanned for other people. "Wow, first one in! What a show!" He then made his way over to the champagne, before the show cut back to Emma.

"Matty is in." Emma smiled. "Now, he seems fine on his own, but I think he needs a little bit of company just to ease him along." The mob seemed to agree. "Press PLAY on Housemate Number 2!"

Housemate Number 2

After skimming over a pretty-pastel pink outfit and well styled hair, the camera shows the next housemate in full. "Hi, my name is Zoe Sugg, but I think you'll all know me better as Zoella!"

Zoe Sugg (Zoella) - YouTube Fashion Vlogger

"I am a full time YouTuber, and for those of you who aren't familiar with the platform - I post videos of my daily life, fashion tutorials and seasonal specials onto my YouTube channel where they're watched by people around the world." She smiled, after the informative talk. "I don't see my job as something everyone would understand, and people with a similar profession get slated for going on celebrity based shows. I'm coming here to show I am a real person, but you'll see that everybody else is too."

The colourful set from Matty's VT returned. "Celebrity Big Brother, for me, isn't about the money or the fame, it's about trying something new and fun that I wouldn't normally do. My followers will probably rage that I'm not going to be uploading new content, but I have a pre-planned schedule with my boyfriend will be uploading for me so they won't miss me too much, will they?"

"I'm here to show that YouTubers are four-dimensional people." She was now in the darker set. suffer with panic attacks and anxiety, triggered when I was 15. Here's how I like to describe it; Imagine that your brain is filled with hundreds of filing cabinets full of different information. You have memories, things you’ve learnt..etc. Well, there is this one filing cabinet that stores every panic attack you have. Where you had it, what happened, who you were with, what you were doing, what you were eating, what you were drinking, everything. When you re-enter the same place, with the same people, or do the same thing, that cabinet unlocks, and releases the same adrenaline, and the same emotion. My brain thinks it’s protecting me, by making me “Fight or flight” in the same situation." She paused. "They happen mainly around nightclubs, pubs and large amounts of people. Overall, I'm just looking for a laugh, and being able to let my hair down!"

After sponge for the eager audience and photographers, Emma and Zoe met. "Oh my gosh, Emma, it's so good to finally meet you!"

"The feelings mutual!" Emma smiled, patting the girls back. "Now, I am a self confessed Zoella fan, I watch a few videos in my spare time, and I wear your makeup line frequently! How do you think 10,949,287 followers will cope without you?"

Zoe chuckled, blushing at the amount of followers. "I hope they'll be watching, and my boyfriend Alfie, better known as PointlessBlog, will be posting pre-recorded videos for me so I'll hope they find a way to cope!"

"I'm sure they will!" Emma replied. "Now, you mentioned the panic attacks. You must know how crazy, and drunk, the house can get at times. How will that effect your experience?"

Zoe nodded. "I spoke to my doctor and he is fine with me going in. Luckily I know how to take myself away from the situation - I can just hide away in the diary room or bedroom, or garden, and I'll be fine. I will explain to people so they know I'm not being rude, hopefully they'll understand!"

"Alright then Zoe, get yourself into the house!"

Zoe hurried inside, and once the door had closed shut she spotted Matty. "Hey, aren't you from The 1975?"

"Yeah!"

"They're, like, one of my favourite bands!" She then entered the clear area where people could stand and talk. "I feel so awkward being in the same room as you just because you're so big in music and there's little me!"

"You'll be fine, it's Zoella, right?" The girl nodded along. "Don't worry, I'll look after you! Champagne?"

She shook her head. "No, just some water for me if that's okay?"

"They seem to be getting along like a house on fire!" Emma cheered, raising her hands. "Now, that's our first two in. We still have eight to go, along with our five others. Let's take a little break whilst we prepare Housemates 3, 4 and 5!"
