Celebrity Big Brother 18
(Friday) Episode 1 - The Live Launch Part 2

After fading back from black, Emma was still on the runway,decorated with colourful shards of glass. "Welcome back to Celebrity Big Brother, The Live Launch. Before the break we saw The 1975 Frontman Matty Healy, and YouTube sensation Zoe Sugg enter the house! I think it's time to let Housemate 3 loose ..."

Housemate Number 3

"Hello, I am Saira Khan," A soft voice spoke, after the camera shot over her wavy brown hair. "I am a television personality and entrepreneur."

Saira Khan - Television Personality

The bright background, recognised by the pastel balloons and white lights,returned for the start of this VT. "People probably best know me from finishing second place in the first ever series of The Apprentice - god that was ages ago!" She paused, before continuing her lifetime achievements. "Since then, I have presented shows such as Beat the Boss, Trade Your Way to the USA, The Martin Lewis Money Show, Guess this House and more recently - Loose Women."

A darker, more sinister background made it's reoccurrence. "I made headlines nationally earlier this year when I said my husband could sleep with anyone because I had lost all interest in sex. This wasn't planned, it came to me on the spot but it became a talking point and people could relate to that." Taking a natural pause, she continued to her next story. "Being married to a white man when you're in a Muslim family is hard, by husband Steve was kept secret from my family for four years, I didn't have the heart to tell them at that precise time. I look forward to getting away from it all this summer and having the time of my life!"

Meeting Emma at the end of the runway, Saira had to be prompted to turn around. "Saira, look this way!" Emma then went straight in for a question. "Now then Saira, you're known for being fairly outspoken in life, will you manage to keep your mouth shut in the house?"

"No!" Khan admitted. "I have to say that no subject is off limits, I'll talk about anything and everything for as long as you want. Self confessed chatterbox." reacted fairly positively to this, yet some thought they'd be annoyed by constant talking.

Emma nodded, looking forward to her antics. "Right then Saira, I think you should head right in - you are in for the summer of your life!"

Entering the house up the spiral stairs and through the shining door, Matty and Zoe greeted her ad the bottom of the golden staircase. "Hi everyone, how are you all!"

"Good thanks, I'm Matty!" The singer and guitarist greeted. "Champagne, water, what can I get you?"

"Champagne please!" The Loose Woman accepted Matty's offer before introducing herself. "I'm Saira, hang on a minute." The others looked confused. "You're Zoella, aren't you? My daughter loves you!"

Emma was then switched back to, on the stage. "Wow, what a bunch we have already. This next lot are SUPER singers!"

Housemates 4 and 5

Scanning over two heads, one shaved blond, the other blonde but styled up, and unique dress senses, this duo introduced themselves. "Hi, I am Mitch Grassi,"

"I am Scott Hoying and we are two parts of A Capella group 'Pentatonix'.

Mitch then continued. "Pentatonix started off as a group of school friends, myself, Acott and our friend Kirstie. One day, we signed up for an American show called The Sing Off where by that time we had two more members." A photo flashed up of the band. "We happened to win the show and the band has really hit off since then!"

"Me and Mitch decided to set up a YouTube channel called Superfruit." The other one smiled, nicely. "We do challenges, singing videos, Q and A's - the lot! We are the best of friends so while we are on a break from world tours we thought we'd have a go on Celebrity Big Brother."

"We have watched the American version," Mitch continued. "But we know the British is an entirely new ball game so we not take a shot and have the best time we possibly can!"

Emma hurried the dynamic duo after they had their photos taken. "Mitch, Scott, great to have you on the show!" They gave her a hug, then began the mini-interview. "So, just to clarify, you're going to be competing as two housemates instead of one?"

"Yeah." Scott answered. "I suppose we didn't want the others to think we have the natural advantage, and we are both on individual journeys so ... Yeah!"

Mitch continued the answer. "I suppose we are both competitive people too, we just want to see if we can win, or who will beat who."

"I think you'll really love it in there, et yourselves up into the house!" They made their way up and in, but the camera never went to their interactions. "Now, whilst Mitch and Scott make their way in, we should get to the small matter of The Others. I wonder who they are!"

Other 1: George Shelley - Former 'Union J' Singer
Other 2: Casey Cody-James - New 'Union J' Singer
Other 3: Nathan Massey - Love Island Winner
Other 4: Sandy Channer and Sandra Martin - Gogglebox Favourites
Other 5: Katie Waissel - Controversial X Factor Contestant

"So," Emma continued. "The Others are waiting patiently in the Other House, and later they'll be making their first nominations. It's time for a quick break, but afterwards we will be meeting Housemate six, seven and eight. See you in 5!"
