'Celebrity Big Brother' shackled its contestants together in pairs as they entered the reality TV house tonight (03.01.14).

The latest edition of the Channel 5 show opened with a twist which saw each celebrity entrant matched to the person they are most likely to either love or hate.

First to appear on the show was controversial comedian Jim Davidson.

Ever the gentleman, Jim said of his future housemates: "I hope there's lots of women with big knockers."

He was then handcuffed to the second contestant, Linda Nolan, and they entered the house and immediately declared how pleased they were to be matched with each other.

The next pair to be cuffed together and enter the reality TV house were N-Dubz rapper and producer Dappy, and journalist Liz Jones. Both appeared a little frosty with each other as they entered the house, with Liz telling her partner: "I especially like my own space around men."

Next up were 'The Only Way is Essex' beauty Sam Faiers, who was coupled to US actress Jasmine Waltz, best known for having dated David Arquette, Chris Pine and Ryan Seacrest. Jasmine seemed happy with her pairing, calling Sam "hot".

The next set of celebrities to be shackled together were boy band singer and ladies man Lee Ryan, who was paired with glamour model Casey Batchelor, best known for her 34GG size boobs.

Former 'Made in Chelsea' star Ollie Locke was next up, chained to tap dancing light entertainment legend Lionel Blair.

Lionel, 82, immediately informed his housemates he had forgotten his swimming trunks for the hot tub.

Reassuring them he is still planning to dip into the tub, he said: "I won't skinny dip, but I might wear two pairs of underpants."

The final celebrity couple for the house were then introduced, with former 'Apprentice' babe Luisa Zissman being cuffed to boxing legend Evander Holyfield, best known for having part of his ear bitten off by Mike Tyson during a match in 1997.

'Celebrity Big Brother' will be broadcast nightly on Channel 5.
