Big Brother 9 is underway and the housemates have entered the Big Brother House
Big Brother 9 has seen a record 16 housemates enter the house, including a blind comic and a secret couple.
The first twist of the new series will see one half of the couple "married" to another female contestant on Sunday night.
First to enter the Big Brother house were couple Mario Marconi and Lisa Appleton, followed by students Luke Marsden and Stephanie McMichael.
Once those four had entered the house they were called into the diary room and told Stephanie, 19, and Mario, 42, had to act as a couple, and keep the truth secret, or face eviction.
The housemates, as usual, are competing to win a prize of £100,000.
Mario, whose real name is Shaun, and Lisa, 40, from Warrington, are the first non-celebrity couple to appear in the Big Brother house. They were greeted with a mixture of cheers and boos as they entered the house.
Luke is a student who says his friends think he looks like Justin Timberlake
Next into the Big Brother House, wearing a short, black dress, was Stephanie, from Liverpool, who says she wants to be the most famous Big Brother contestant of all time.
In a twist at the end of the show, presenter Davina McCall said Mario and Stephanie would be told they must get married on air. What they would not be told was that the wedding would actually be a sham and not binding.
The fifth housemate to enter the house was actress Rachel Rice, 24, of Torfaen, also wearing a black dress, who appeared in a film with Hugh Grant as a child.
Sixth in was Dale Howard, 21, a PE teaching student from Liverpool.
Housemates seven and eight are Christian sales assistant Sylvia Barrie, 21, from South London, and dance student Dennis McHugh, 23, from Edinburgh.
The ninth contestan was blind radio producer and part time comedian Mikey Hughes, 33, from Ayrshire.
Housemate number 10 is single mother Alexandra De-Gale, 23, an accounts executive from Croydon, South London, who was greeted by a chorus of boos.
The next housemate was executive chef Rex Newmark, 24, from London.
The twelfth housemate is Mohamed Mohamed, 23, a toy demonstrator from London.
Thirteenth was Vicky Pollard sound-alike Rebecca Shiner, 21, a kindergarten nurse from Coventry.
br />Fourteenth and fifteenth were Ipswich-born Darnell Swallow, a 26-year-old albino who was raised in the US, and part-time model Jennifer Clark, 22, from Durham.
The final housemate was Kathreya Kasisopa, a 30-year-old massage therapist originally from Thailand who now lives in Kent.
This year's Big Brother house boasts a luxury bedroom, as well as a dormitory-style room with short beds and scratchy blankets.
The luxury room features eight double beds, complete with velvet cushions, a walk-in wardrobe and burgundy and gold curtains. The two bedrooms are intended to divide the contestants competing for the £100,000 prize.
Big Brother says it will have zero tolerance for rule breakers this year and there is a jail in the form of a tiny claustrophobic area enclosed by metal bars in the garden, ready for use if any housemates need to be punished.
Big Brother has also said that persistent rule breakers could end up in a padded white solitary confinement room.
