Yahoo News CBB fans are asking 'Where's Stormy Daniels?!'
Celebrity Big Brother is officially back with its Eye of the Storm series.
The name couldn't be more appropriate, as all of the new housemates have been caught up in a media storm at some point during their careers.
But what did viewers think of this latest lot of celebs?
The very first person to enter the house on Thursday (August 16) already appears to be the fan-favourite, with Cheers and Scream Queen actress Kirstie Alley going down a treat:

Comedian Hardeep Singh Kohli got the jokes flowing immediately and he provoked a laugh on Twitter:
Hardeep compared his name to the “how deep is your love” song... this guy has won already 😂 #CBB

When it came to former The Only Way Is Essex star Dan Osborne, there was only one wish that some viewers had:
Hopefully Dan Osborne packed only speedos and underwear #cbb

US reality star Natalie Nunn was very keen to play up her 'bad girl' image – the fact that she's been on a show called Bad Girls Club is a bit of a giveaway – and viewers were here for it:
If Natalie lives up to this bad girl image and gives us the drama she causes in the US she could be one of the best housemates! It's eye of the storm now show us one girl #CBB #CBBBOTS @BBUK

Although the rumoured line-up that was floating around before the show started was mostly on-point, one person a lot of viewers were expecting to see but never showed up was Stormy Daniels.
And her absence was very much noticed:
So no Stormy then? 😟 #CBB
- HeyYou (@FandangoFlora) August 16, 2018
where is stormy daniels? 🤔 #cbb

So Stormy isn’t going to be on the show?? #cbbuk #cbb #CBBBOTS

But could there still be time for Stormy to descend on the house?
The new house also features former Coronation Street actor Ryan Thomas, psychic Sally Morgan, ex-footballer Jermaine Pennant, 'human Ken doll' Rodrigo Alves, former Love Island star Gabby Allen, Married At First Sight contestant Ben Jardine, actress Roxanne Pallett, former banker Nick Leeson and model Chloe Ayling.
One of the best things about this new series already is its old-school vibe - who would have thought we'd be getting so excited about an enclosed staircase and some hired cars?
Celebrity Big Brother continues tonight (August 17) at 9pm on Channel 5, followed by Rylan Clark-Neal presenting Celebrity Big Brother's Bit on the Side at 11pm.
