First night: Getting to know you

The housemates spent their first few hours engaging in the traditional process of getting to know each other.

Shahbaz remained giddy and excitable throughout, flitting from housemate to housemate before deciding to don rubber gloves and clean the glass coffee table in the lounge.

Sezer and Glyn were first into the pool - although their dip was brief - while Lisa had the honour of the first diary room visit.

Richard appeared to find an early friend in Dawn, having discovered a mutual appreciation for second hand clothes.

Sezer, meanwhile, began making a play for female attention, first playing with a shocked Imogen's exposed thong, then gently touching Nikki's face before flirting with Grace. "It's a numbers game," he explained to George. "Seven women, one of them's got to bite."
