Tonight's launch night will indeed see a number of potential housemates pitch themselves to the public.

However us viewers will vote for just one of them to enter the house, alongside the rest of the housemates chosen by producers.

But that's not all.

The lucky housemate voted in by the public, will become the People’s Housemate and will hold great power within the house.

This will include even having access to the outside world.

We'll just have to wait and see exactly what's planned for the lucky chosen housemate when Big Brother 2017 kicks off on Channel 5 later evening.

As well as voting for the 'People's Housemate', we'll also get introduced to the rest of this year's cast.
