Fans took to Twitter to slam a significant format change as the likes of Ann Widdecombe and Ashley James entered the compound.
However, before they set foot in the bungalow, they enjoyed a relaxed, sit-down chat with host Emma Willis – and those at home were not happy.
Normally the presenter speaks to the housemates very briefly outside in front of the live audience before their more formal, eviction interview at the end.
“This pre-entrance interview is already an absolute buzzkill #CBB #CelebrityBigBrother,” one user remarked early on.
Two users continued: “Not a fan of the interview on the way in. Get them in already! #CBBUK #CelebrityBigBrother,” and: “Well this is all shades of BORING. What’s the deal with the sit-down interviews, move it along and put some actual celebs in #CelebrityBigBrother #CBBUK @Arlainex.”
“Not fan of the pre-interview should only be done after they are out! @EmmaWillis @bbuk #BBUK #CBB #CBBUK,” a fourth tweet read.
Someone else continued: “Why’s Emma interviewing all housemates before they enter? #CelebrityBigBrother #boreoff.”
