Entering their plush new surroundings, Louie exclaimed: 'This is more like it!'
The trio promptly donned luxurious capes as they settled into their pristine new palace, while kicking back on white leather sofas.
Big Brother said: 'Welcome to the cult of celebrity. For the next 24 hours, your presence inside the house will remain a secret. It will be your task to observe the other less-divine celebrities with an all-seeing eye. Observe them closely, as the power of nomination lies solely in your hands.
'You are provided with detailed information on each and every celebrity as they enter the house.'
It's Janice and Les! Former Coronation Street stars Vicky Entwistle and Bruce Jones were cheered by the crowd as they entered the house
A long way from Weatherfield: The on-screen couple entered the house together, but will count as two separate housemates
Former Coronation Street couple Bruce Jones and Vicky Entwistle - who famously played Les and Janice Battersby in the ITV1 soap - were next to enter the house, thinking they were first in.
Vicky said: 'I wouldn't say I was looking forward to it. I'm scared. Everybody else will be a breeze, but being with him day in, day out is going to do my head in. What are we doing?'
Next up was one of the most controversial contestants to enter the house, American reality star and teen bride Courtney Stodden, who was booed as she chatted to Emma on stage.
Strutting her stuff in a tiny plunging yellow minidress, she said: 'People have just become obsessed with me.

Pouting up a storm: Courtney told Emma she was pleased to have raised a few eyebrows in Hollywood
New pals: Courtney seemed to be in good spirits as she chatted to Vicky and Bruce upon entering the house
'I am most known for my controversial union to my husband. I was 16 when I married him and he was 50 years old. It got a lot of media attention. It's hard to raise eyebrows in Hollywood, but we really did.
'I enjoy paparazzi, I enjoy attention. People are obsessed with me for just being me. I think I'll be a fun housemate, I'm sweet, kind and happy. I don't think I'm confrontational but we'll see.
'I guess my style is a little provocative and I'm not afraid to show off my body. The British accent is very beautiful, I wanna talk like you guys. People will either love me or hate me.'
Top turn-out! Hundreds of fans turned out to watch the celebrities enter the house
Asked by Emma how she would put up with male attention in the house, she said: 'I don't know. Maybe Big Brother will help me.'
But the star's appearance evidently wasn't that important, as she was told by Vicky as soon as she set foot in the house that she had lipstick smeared on her teeth.
Abz Love, of boyband 5ive, was next into the house, joking that he was taking part because he needed money and a place to stay.
He said: 'I'm your local friendly neighbourhood superhero. I was in quite a dysfunctional band, Simon Cowell was our A&R guy and now the guys like God. I'm a little bit sad the band ended the way it did. I spent a lot of money for sex, drugs and rock and roll. I swapped the bright lights for a quieter life.
Working the crowd: Abz Love from boyband 5ive said he was entering the show after spending all his money on sex, drugs and rock and roll
Sex, drugs and rock and roll: Abz certainly seemed to be one of the more popular members of the house
'I'm happy to sit and talk but if someone starts annoying me I'll slide my hat across my face. I have been known to lose it when people annoy me. But Big Brother should be a breeze.
'I need the money, I'm still a bit broke. I'm staying at my Auntie Wendy's with three dogs, so I needed somewhere to stay to be honest.'
And while Courtney admitted she was sad that Abz got cheered by the crowd when she was booed, he reassured her that they were just 'playing'.
Next up was Irish reality star and Botox entrepreneur Danielle Marr, who claimed she was planning to be the 'alpha female' of the house.

he said: 'I'm very wholesome so I haven't had many boyfriends. I've been seen with the odd rugby player, but they're just like a handbag or something.
'I am an alpha female and I'm very able to stick up for myself. I'm a good friend but not a very good enemy. I just hope the other housemates haven't had a lobotomy.'
While Sophie, Lauren and Louie commented on how much they liked their fellow housemates so far, Courtney chatted to the rest of the gang about her revealing choice of outfit.
Abz told her: 'You should have just worn a tracksuit, you didn't need to wear that.'
Saved By The Bell: Dustin Diamond, aka Screech, admitted he had no idea what to expect from the show
The great unknown: Dustin seemed excited to be trying out a new experience by appearing on the show
Admitting her skyscraper heels were six inches high, Courtney said: 'I know, I couldn't walk up that ramp outside'.
To which Louie remarked from inside the secret temple: 'She's a munchkin without those shoes!'
American actor Dustin Diamond, famed for playing Screech in Saved By The Bell, was next, saying: 'I think the Big Brother house is like going into camp. I don't feel ready at all. British culture is going to take a lot of getting used to. I hope people find my loveable. I hope I look nice, I tried my best.'
Back in the house, conversation was still on Courtney's shoes, with Vicky hilariously trying on the blonde's skyscraper heels, saying: 'They're a weapon!'
Little Miss Popular: Charlotte Crosby from Geordie Shore got by far the biggest cheers of the night as she entered the Celebrity Big Brother house
Nervous: Charlotte told Emma that in spite of her confident attitude, she was absolutely terrified about entering the house
Entering the house to by far the biggest applause of the night was Geordie Shore's Charlotte Crosby, who was screaming: 'I'm so scared, I feel like I'm going to p**s myself.'
Speaking in her VT, she said: 'I have sex, I p**s myself, I s**t myself. You name it, I've probably done it. It's a crazy lifestyle to lead. It's better than getting called a s**g.
'My most famous moment was when Gary and I were going to have sex in Ricci's nan's bed and I farted and found it so funny, I weed all over him.
Working the crowd: Charlotte said entering the famous house felt like 'Christmas'
Oh my god! Charlotte was overwhelmed when she entered the house, and hugged Vicky straight away
'I'm a very open person and I don't know how people will deal with that in the house. I'm just excited and want it to start, it feels like Christmas.'
But those hoping to see more of Charlotte's antics in the Big Brother house will be disappointed, with her telling Emma she had a boyfriend back at home.
While Charlotte hyper-actively bounded about the house, Sophie commented from the secret hideaway: 'They're not going to have any idea who she is.'
And while the crowd continued to chant Charlotte's name, TOWIE star Mario Falcone wasn't so fortunate with his reception, going into the house to a chorus of boos.
Dapper dude: TOWIE's Mario Falcone was booed by the crowd as he entered the house, but insisted he was a 'mummy's boy' at heart
Speaking about his lothario reputation, he said: 'I am most famous for being a bad boy in The Only Way Is Essex. I am 100% single. Girls don't like guys who are really nice all the time. I think it makes them cringe, say "You're beautiful, but your hair looks a mess".
'I'd be open for romance in the house but I wouldn't go looking for it. My dream girl would be either Megan Fox or Mila Kunis.'
He later added to Emma: 'I'm not a ladies' man, I'm a mummy's boy.'
Speaking to Courtney about his negative reception, he said: 'I got booed, but I get booed when I go out shopping, so you know...'
Loose Woman: Carol McGiffin seemed to be rather overexcited as she entered the famous house
Work it, girl: The Loose Women star was in particularly high spirits as she entered the house
Next in was Loose Women star Carol McGiffin, following in the footsteps of co-stars Denise Welch and Coleen Nolan.
She said: 'It's inevitable that you're going to go crackers. Have I learned anything from Denise and Coleen on here? Yeah not to do it.
'Will I be able to outsmart Big Brother? No way. What am I supposed to say? That I'm really looking forward to meeting a load of t**ts?. Will I win it? No way.'
The final housemate to enter the Celebrity Big Brother house was football manager, Ron Atkinson, who insisted he is 'just a big teddy bear'.
Big Ron in the house! Football manager Ron Atkinson received big cheers as he walked up the stairs
In he goes: Ron explained that he was easily irritated by 'stupid' people
He said: 'I've managed many of the best clubs in the country. I like the nice things in life, make no mistake about that. I like nice clothes, nice cars.
'One thing that irritates me about all walks of life is stupidness (sic). To live with, I think people will find me lovely. I'm very domesticated, I do all the washing up and all the cooking... and if you believe that you'll believe anything. I'm just a big teddy bear.'
And the sports manager immediately struck up a bond with Mario, with the pair bonding over their shared love of Marbella.
It was then that Big Brother interrupted, and gathered the housemates on the sofa.

Settling in: Big Brother told the housemates to decided who were the most famous members of the group
Well that backfired: After the group picked Bruce and Vicky, it emerged they would have to sleep outside in a double bed
Big Brother said: 'Housemates, Big Brother has a big decision for you all to make. Big Brother wants you all to decided who are the two most famous housemates.'
With Bruce as the spokesperson, the housemates thrashed out their decision, eventually choosing Bruce and Vicky, aka Les and Janice, much to Charlotte's upset.
Big Brother said: 'As the most famous, you should not be sharing with the other housemates. You deserve your own spacious room with a beautiful view.'
The garden door then opened to reveal a huge double bed, where the pair would be required to sleep - in the great outdoors.
Louie, Lauren and Sophie will have 24 hours to decide who they want to put up for the public vote, and will re-enter their house from the secret cult HQ to meet their co-contestants for the first time.
