Celebrity Big Brother fans mock Jermaine Pennant for drink-drive conviction after he claims he has 'no bad habits'

The 35-year-old former footballer's boast was read out by host Emma Willis as he entered the famous house tonight.

After a brief chat with the presenter at the foot of the steps, the bad boy then made his way up to the front door of his home for the foreseeable future.

As he made his way into the house, Emma read out a short bio about the star.

She said: "Jermaine claims to have no bad habits that will annoy any of his house mates."

The ex-player – who previously served time after a drink-driving conviction – was the third contestant to enter after Kirsty Alley and Ryan Thomas.

Those watching at home saw a flaw in his boast.

One wrote: "Drink driving sounds like a bit of a bad habit though #CBB"

Another commented: "Is drink driving not a bad habit? #CBB"

A third shared: "Bragging about no not having any bad habits is a bad habit that’s going to anoy a lot of people #CBB #cbbuk"

Tonight’s live launch will see 12 big name stars enter the completely refurbished house.

Bosses chose a Love Island themed décor for the pad, complete a luxurious hot tub, pool and funky bar.

This series has been the most costly ever – with the big name stars commanding fees that total £2.3million.

Former Emmerdale actress Roxanne signed a deal worth £750,000 along with Stormy who signed on the dotted line for the same figure.

The series will last for a total of three weeks, with Emma Willis hosting the show tonight and throughout the live evictions.

Rylan Clark-Neal is back hosting Big Brother’s Bit On The Side which will air straight after the main show ends.

The future of the hit show remains in doubt as bosses try and work out whether to continue the pricey franchise or end on a high note.

For now, they’re throwing money at celebrities in a bid to inject life into the format which some fans have branded “tired”.

As well as given the house an overhaul, earlier this week The Sun Online exclusively revealed how bosses had ditched the show’s cameramen and replaced them with robots.

The Microsoft Azure Media Analytics system recognises facial expressions, language and keywords to effectively pin point dramatic moments – meaning producers don’t have to pour over hours of footage to pull out the best bits

Following the launch tonight, Celebrity Big Brother continues every night, bar Saturdays, at 9pm on Channel 5.
