You absolutely cannot avoid this. We’re sorry, but the sheer amount of tweets about last night’s episode don’t lie. Now the celebs are all settled in the house, we review their first day of getting to know each other. We’re especially interested in how Tila Tequila, Jenna Jameson and Farrah Abraham, with their shared background in porn, get on. #cbb

Everybody’s talking about: Simon Cowell

Simon Cowell is preeeetty confident that X Factor will beat its BBC1 rival Strictly Come Dancing in the ratings this year, after failing miserably at it in 2014.

This year, the big stars on Strictly include Ainsley Harriott, Kirsty Gallacher, and Peter Andre – and Cowell couldn’t resist a dig at the former popstar:

If it’s us vs Peter Andre, I’ve got to put my money on us.

The proof of the pudding is in the eating, Simon.
