And so it begins… :amazed:

[Kazanne]

Looking forward to this.

[Vanessa]

My appointment was cancelled! I'm just getting a quick coffee, then I'll go to the studios. Really hope I get in!

[Ammi]

…:love:…

[Vanessa]

If I can't get in I'll try the 18 April eviction. It's a bank holiday and I don't work.

[Kate!]

I have faith you'll get in Ness

[Vanessa]

The train has been suspended. Aaargh! I'll try the bus

[Glenn.]

It’s not as hard to get in as you think. We’ve been there about 5pm and still got in

[Glenn.]

It’s not as hard to get in as you think. We’ve been there about 5pm and still got in

[Crimson Dynamo]

why do they dress Will up like a woman?

Its like they deliberately try to every time

[Glenn.]

They don’t

[Vanessa]

Omg The Bridge Cafe is just nearby! The one where they flme the apprentice! I'm so excited to see it!

[AnnieK]

why do they dress Will up like a woman?

Its like they deliberately try to every time

He's a grown man, sure he can choose his own wardrobe and its his style :shrug:

[NICKP]

I'm surprised it's starting on a Monday instead of the usual Friday night

[MTVN]

I'm surprised it's starting on a Monday instead of the usual Friday night

Does it usually start on a Friday? I think last two civilian BBs have been a Sunday launch. They don't do Sat highlights anymore so would lose a bit of momentum if they launched Friday then had no second show till Sunday

[MTVN]

I moved place recently and don't have a TV still so will miss this :omgno: will have to catch up later in the week

[Vanessa]

I'm in the holding area.
I'm wearing a white coat and gray hat :hee:

[arista]

I'm in the holding area.
I'm wearing a white coat and gray hat :hee:


Fantastic

[Crimson Dynamo]

I'm in the holding area.

Ness Arrives at the set

Inside her Dior bag is a big "Deportations NOW" banner a vape and a half bottle of Vodka

Not quite. I'm feeling quite cold now :joker:

[Maru]

My free VPN app apparently self-updated and they've put UK on paid tier, so have to sub a proper VPN now for a month. Boo.

[Jessica.]

I moved place recently and don't have a TV still so will miss this :omgno: will have to catch up later in the week

Can you not watch on itv player on your phone?

[Benjamin]

I moved place recently and don't have a TV still so will miss this :omgno: will have to catch up later in the week

Can’t you watch it on your phone?

[Maru]

ITVX through their desktop site also works fine. Just make sure you wait to accept the Parental Controls dialog or it soft-locks you out of video (won't load anything). Very annoying and hard to get it to come back up.

[MTVN]

Can you not watch on itv player on your phone?

Can’t you watch it on your phone?

I could but I hate watching things on my phone and also can't chat on here during it which is half the appeal! Will hopefully have a telly by Weds so can catch up then

[In 2023, Goddard was diagnosed with
breast cancer for a second time,
However, this time it was stage four.
In February 2024, she announced the diagnosis
and revealed that it was treatable but not curable]

The big dent in the back of the wig. Absolutely hilarious.

[Maru]

I have no idea who Fabricant is, but he looks like a geek turned Silicon Valley millionaire... he's so awkward

[Conzors]

I really try not to judge but he paid for that hair???

[Kate!]

…you’re not really in BB vibe this evening, are you…

I was until I couldn't get the pissing tv on and missed all the excitement. Now I'm still livid and can't calm down.

Ex MP

[Oliver_W]

I was until I couldn't get the pissing tv on and missed all the excitement. Now I'm still livid and can't calm down.

Was it on the Firestick ITV app? Mine crashed out at first, but did get working in time.

[Maru]

Why are they booing, he seems fun!

The usual trauma at the polls... we've all had it at some point

[Crimson Dynamo]

Soy boy alert

[Maru]

Refreshed through BB rambling so I can get more current

[joeysteele]

:joker:

I know :joker:

I'll give him a chance though.
I get to like some Conservatives often on these shows at times.

[Ammi]

I was until I couldn't get the pissing tv on and missed all the excitement. Now I'm still livid and can't calm down.

…honestly, let it go and enjoy the rest of the launch is the only thing to do…

[Zizu]

I already like Jack
