That probably happened in previous series but at least we didn't see it so it kept the illusion that they were meeting for the first time on launch night.

It really didn’t. Producers were very rigorous when it came to keeping celebs separated, each with their own chaperones who kept a strict schedule to make sure none of them came face to face.

There’s every chance one or two might have accidentally bumped into each other, but once they went into hiding the separation was taken very seriously.

Apparently this rumour only started because the S*n incorrectly identified a staff member pictured with Fern as another celebrity rumoured to be entering the house. Once again proving itself a trustworthy and thoroughly researched publication.
