CHESNEY Hawkes made a big impression as he became the first housemate to enter the new CBB house.

Within seconds of his VT playing, Chesney admitted viewers are likely to get an eyeful.

The One and Only hitmaker said he's a "bit of a nudist" and has no issue getting his kit off.

And he doubled down when he was introduced to Will Best and AJ Odudu in front of the live audience, looking slightly concerned when they told him he would be shown in the buff if he strips off.

Wearing incredibly tight trousers, Will then cheekily said: "You are the wang and only!"

After Chesney stepped inside he was immediately given a challenge by Big Brother: introduce yourself to the first four housemates as "The one and only Chesney Hawkes".

JoJo Siwa was the next housemate to join Chesney in the house and he immediately recited the catchphrase he'd been told to say.

He continued to do it as requested by Big Brother as he was slowly joined by more stars including Trisha Goddard, Chris Hughes and Patsy Palmer.

CELEBRITY BIG BROTHER HOUSE

Speaking before going into the famous house, Chesney told ITV: "I'm 53 and I've spent 53 years with myself, so I think I know myself pretty well.

"But I reckon I'm going to learn stuff about myself. If you can reach your mid 50s and there's potential to do that, then that's really exciting.

"And I think I'll learn some stuff about other celebrities that I didn't know as well - so that's interesting."

BECOMING A STAR

Chesney shot to international stardom at the tender age of 19, when he won the title role in the film Buddy's Song.

Since becoming one of the early 90s biggest popstars, Chesney has released a number of hit songs including I'm a Man Not a Boy and Secrets of the Heart.

Along with Celebrity Big Brother, he has appeared in a number of other TV shows.

In 2005, he competed in Channel 4's The Games and won a Bronze Medal.

Chesney also took part in the ITV programme Hit Me Baby One More Time that same year.
