With 16 celebrities entering the house this year, it’s one of the biggest series of Celebrity Big Brother ever – offering plenty of scope for romances and falling-outs.

It seems like one pairing might already be underway, with TOWIE star Gemma Collins taking on the role of cupid.

In the first day of the show, she seems to have tried to set up Ex on the Beach’s Megan McKenna with Geordie Shore’s Scotty T – truly a love story for the ages.

As Scotty entered the house, Gemma whispered to Megan that “he’s for you”, while ex-Hollyoaks star Stephanie Davis later informed McKenna that Scotty fancies her.

However, despite the signs that they both might want to get together, there was no funny business on the first night.

McKenna decided not to share a bed with Scotty, saying that she “doesn’t want to push anything”.

Collins advised her to “play hard to get, and not to rush it” – but all the signs are there that romance (or something vaguely resembling it) might already be flourishing in the Vaudeville-themed reality TV house.
