Bobby Davro and Janice Dickinson are to enter the Celebrity Big Brother house in the first twist of the series.

As part of the UK vs USA theme, the British comedian and the American model will compete in a live showdown on tonight’s show to be named Prime Minister or President of the house.

Whoever wins will rule the house and have special power over the other contestants.

The Brits got off to a flying start last night, winning the first cannon firing task, winning themselves a party in the process.

US housemates Farrah Abraham, Daniel Baldwin and Fatman Scoop were left out of the fun, which left Teen Mom star Farrah fuming.

In the meantime, here’s all you need to know about the new contestants…
