Big Brother 2023 winner Jordan Sangha made a surprise return to the show when the highly anticipated Celebrity version started on Monday night.
Three months after being crowned champion and scooping the £100,000 prize money, the lawyer appeared on ITV2 spin-off Late and Live.
Supported by his proud boyfriend Henry Southan, Jordan confirmed their romance is ‘stronger than ever’ after meeting in the house last year.
Jordan noted that Henry was watching near the audience and joked that this was the furthest they had been apart in weeks.
However, he didn’t shy away from sharing his thoughts on the new line-up of Celebrity housemates, including Sharon Osbourne, Louis Walsh, Ekin-Su Culculoglu and Fern Britton.

Jordan was quick to slam Gary Goldsmith, the uncle of the Princess of Wales Kate Middleton, and admitted he had made him cringe just minutes after moving into the house.
He told the Late and Live panel: ‘I can’t stand him already, you saw that video of him sneaking into the bedroom, he’s already up to no good. He just makes me cringe.”
At Monday’s launch, Sharon became the first ever ‘household resident’, with the X Factor star immediately given a secret mission alongside her long-time friend Louse Walsh.
Sharon also chose the first three housemates to find themselves in the danger zone ahead of evictions on Friday in the series’ first shocking twist.
The participants in danger turned out to be Gary Goldsmith, David Potts and Zeze Mills.
Sharon explained her decision to put the three in the ‘ring of fire’: ‘I think David is coming to show off. I think he’s trying too hard to be outrageous.
“I think Gary is very nervous and I don’t think he’s comfortable yet, and with Zeze I have no idea who she is yet.”
Viewers will see the fallout from Sharon and Louis’ decision during Tuesday night’s show.

On Valentine’s Day, Henry shared a sparkling tribute to Jordan on Instagram, writing that he never expected to find his “soulmate” when he entered the Big Brother house.
Henry wrote: “Soppy post warning. Valentine’s Day has never been worth celebrating for me as I have always been single. When I started the craziest experience of my life @bbuk, I didn’t realize I would find my soulmate.
“I remember laughing hysterically with @aliciaturner98 before going into how ridiculously impossible that would be, and it just proves how love really does show up in the most unexpected places. I love you, Jordan.”
Jordan shared his own adorable tribute to Henry in the comments section, writing, “Soppy Bloody G*t.
“You are the person I hold most dear in my life. I love bringing you coffee in the morning and you bringing me my tea in the evening. I love you with all my heart. Luckily you reminded me I have one.”
In January, Jordan and Henry revealed that they moved in together less than three months after leaving the Big Brother house.
After meeting in the Big Brother house in October last year, the pair’s friendship blossomed into romance, with the pair sharing snippets of their relationship with their followers on social media.

In a recent interview with Huffpost Great BritainHenry admitted they felt “a lot of pressure” to explore their bond after it gripped the show’s viewers.
He added that they tried to “ignore” the social media frenzy surrounding their relationship, and just “navigate” it on their own.
Jordan added, “We have that public side of our relationship, but we also have the private side of our relationship, and both sides are important to me, but of course the private side takes precedence.
“But we like to share things with everyone and it’s fun and great to have that support.”
Celebrity Big Brother continues on Tuesday at 9pm on ITV1 and ITVX.
