Celebrity Big Brother: Katie Hopkins, Perez Hilton and Patsy Kensit enter the famous reality home

Viewers can expect an explosive Celebrity Big Brother as opinionated columnist Katie Hopkins has entered the famous reality TV home to chants of "off off".

Emma Willis welcomed motormouth Hopkins - who was branded "the wicked witch" - into the "twisted fairytale" themed house on Wednesday night.

In pre recorded footage played to the crowd before she made her entrance in a blue sequin dress the 39-year-old said: "I'm quite prepared to say what a lot of people are thinking but are not prepared to say."

She then added: "If you are fat, lazy, unemployed, you need to get moving, get a job and start paying taxes."

Upon entering the house she was set a secret task by the enchanted mirror. She had to pass judgement on her fellow house mates, with two being picked to face the first eviction.

Of Coronation Street actor Ken Morley she said she was "Concerned Ken has been let out of a care home and someone is looking for him" and quipped she "would not want to be stuck with Perez [Hilton] on a bus for anymore than ten minutes".

But it was American singer Alexander O'Neal and Ex on the Beach star Chloe Goodman who were chosen to face eviction.

Also making their way into the house was Patsy Kensit, model Calum Best, and Loose Women panelist Nadia Sawalha.

Glamour model Cami Li , nineties pop star Anthony 'Kavana' Kavanagh, plastic surgery addict Alicia Douvall,TV presenter Keith Chegwin, and Michelle Visage - who described herself as "a b**** with a heart of gold on RuPaul's drag race" - also entered the house.

The new recruits will battle it out in a series of tasks, evictions and no doubt secret twists to be crowned winner in three weeks time.
