This season's Celebrity Big Brother may be the most glamorous yet.

Former The Only Way is Essex star Amy Childs, 21, was joined in the luxury compound in Elstree, Herts, last night by seasoned reality star Kerry Katona and American Pie actress Tara Reid.

The show has been relaunched on Channel 5 and housemates will live in the house for three weeks.

Amy wore a gold sequinned Forever Unique dress on the first night, promising host Brian Dowling: 'I will bring 100 per cent bring glamour to the Big Brother House.'

The trio joined My Big Fat Gypsy Wedding star Paddy Doherty as the first four contestants to enter the house and chatted nervously before the others arrived.

Two other rival blondes include David Hasslehoff's ex-wife Pamela Bach and Sally Bercow, wife of the House of Commons Speaker John Bercow.

Also in the house are Irish pop twins Jedward, aka John and Edward Grimes, Australian paparazzo Darryn Lyons, Coronation Street actor Lucien Laviscount, and 29-year-old male model Bobby Sabel.

An awkward moment ensued when Tara, 35, walked down the spiral staircase into the house to see Kerry waiting. She struggled to understand the Warrington girl's accent when she introduced herself.

Before entering she said: 'I'm really loud, I'm hyperactive. You never know what you're going to get with me'

Kerry, who also wore Forever Unique, told Brian earlier: 'I'm really loud, I'm hyperactive. You never know what you're going to get with me.

'I'm either up all I'm down.'

And there is likely to be more tension among the female contestants after mother-of-four Kerry was given the first task of the show - to stir up a diva-style tantrum.

She was told to 'think Mariah Carey, J-Lo and John McCririck'.

Housemembers will be asked to vote for who they think is the 'biggest diva' and Kerry will be punished if they do not choose her.

A distraught Kerry yelled: 'I'm not a diva', before adding 'they're going to hate me'.

The former Atomic Kitten bandmember earlier put her foot in it when she offered Sally a glass of champagne.

The 41-year-old replied: 'I don't drink actually' and opted for water.

Tara is likely to be missing her new husband, Bulgarian financier Zachary Kehayov.

The pair married unexpectedly in Greece last week.

Jedward are also likely to stir up a bit of trouble among the girls after promising to 'fight for hairspray' in the house. They admitted they used up to a bottle a day.
The heavily-coiffed pair, who have made millions since losing X Factor, arrived in the house wearing tiger-print hooded jackets and sneakers with panda heads on them.
It had widely been reported that Amy was entering the house after it emerged she had quit the show that made her a household name.
TOWIE bosses apparently didn't want her appearing on a rival network.
