Producers are desperate to recreate the sex storm that rocked the last series in January and turned it into a smash-hit.

So they have put two former couples inside the house.

Veteran actor Gary Busey, 70, was once the boyfriend of porn star Angelique Morgan, 38.

And reality TV stars Lauren Goodger, 27, and Ricci Guarnaccio, 27, have also been spotted together.

Ricci, who romped with an ex on Geordie Shore, told Big Brother: “I wouldn’t say no to sex, I’ve done it before on TV.”

The new housemates settled in and instantly got steamy.

Towie babe Lauren, fresh from her sex tape shame, made a saucy play for Geordie Shore hunk Ricci.

Benefits Street star White Dee, 43, real name Deirdre Kelly, said: “I’ve seen a lot of eye contact between them, I don’t think it’ll be tonight, but soon.

“They’re both single so good luck to them!”

Heavyweight boxer Audley Harrison, 42, added: “I said to them earlier that they need to get a room.”

And The Hills star Stephanie Pratt, 28, laughed: “Can we all put bets on how long it will take Lauren and Ricci to hook up?”

At one point Ricci, who was previously engaged to MTV co-star Vicky Pattison, grabbed Lauren’s hand and joked: “Will you marry me?”

Ricci told Big Brother: “Lauren is well fit, we’ve had some messaging going on.

“She came up to Newcastle and we had a night out. I’ve met her a few times and we get on.”

Meanwhile Angelique, who goes by the name of Frenchy, and ex Gary had an awkward moment when they came face to face during Monday night’s launch show.

The Point Break star seemed to forget he had ever met Frenchy, who was in a relationship with him for two years from 2008.

Last night bookies Coral offered odds of 6-1 that fans would see a steamy sex session in the house.

TLDR; They are trying to recreate January's season

I may slip into a coma if they have a showmance
So boring. Neither have any personality.
It would be worse than Winston's showmance with the mirror.
Plus, what has that woman done to her face ?..........is she trying to look like a cat

[Crimson Dynamo]

Nothing will beat the real love of Winston and Tamara

[Bluerang1]

What happened in Jan.. oh that one guy

[Marsh.]

Sex storm in January?

Why was Linda and Jim Uncut not aired?

[LukeB]

i dont get the hate for lauren, she done nothing wrong

[the truth]

ricci seems utterly shallow...im undecided about lauren, the little head likes her, not sure about the big head yet lol

[jessicadanielle]

I get the feeling Ricci would drop Lauren straight away if Stephanie showed any interest.

[Patricia4]

Stephanie is beautiful she isn't.

[mrmattybeck1]

I like Lauren the other guy not so much

I've watched Geordie shore since the beginning and when Ricci was in it and what I can tell you is that he is a possessive horrible man who treats women like crap, and it's if you get with him then you cannot do anything without his say so otherwise he'll hit ya, evidence is on that show treating his girlfriend with no respect.

[Joelle.]

Ricci is awful. Not here for a showmance

Geordie Shore is heavily edited, about 100% more than Big Brother.

Mental illness

The way they tried to push the Ollie and Sam no-mance on us was so irritating, I hope that they don't do that with Ricci and Lauren. They obviously will though.
