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
