Celebrity Big Brother's launch show was full of technical issues as fans fumed over the issues.

The show was broadcasted live tonight, with hosts AJ Odudu and Will Best presenting with a live audience by their sides as they welcomed the 12 stars plus Celebrity Big Brother lodger Sharon Osbourne.

The pair had revealed before the show that they were nervous about it being live, with AJ revealing: "There’s an energy you get from live TV that can’t be translated, all of the nervous energy from every celebrity that steps out the car will be captured and seen. Any awkward moments - if anyone stumbles and trips over their dress, we will see it! There’s an edge. Anything can happen! Bring it on!"

One wrote: "The Big Brother House is suffering from technical difficulties #CBBUK," with a second adding: "So many signal issues throughout the transmit, what’s going on ITV? #CBBUK." A third shared: "This live show has had like 6 glitches so far #CBBUK," with a fourth adding: "'I would make a great BB housemate because I always *picture and sound glitch*' Always what? What? The suspense!!" A fifth shared: "Wtf did that glitch for everyone else...?" as a sixth penned: "Please sort out your signal, it keeps blanking in and out."

AJ and Will also opened up about their pre-show ritual as they prepared for the "buzz" of the live show.

Will explained: "Pre show, I leave my dressing room, meet AJ in the corridor, get a look at her outfit for the first time, which is always amazing. See that we’re matching! We’ve been wearing the same designers without planning it. It’s weird, the synergy! Before going on to the set, we go to the Late & Live studio, and there’s always a great crowd in there, so we get gee’ed up by the crowd, everyone’s really excited, there’s a real party atmosphere. We do a really traditional hands in the middle."

AJ added: "We always go ‘Big Brother!’ It’s squad hands. We do it - even when there’s pandemonium going on. We always do it!" as Will explained: "I think it’s probably the most exciting moment of my career, those moments before we go out. The outdoor crowd - I’ve never experienced anything like it. The passion, the energy, the screams, the volume, the banners! It’s an incredible buzz."
