Darren had a difficult first night in the house after volunteering to live in the box room with EastEnders star John Partridge as part of Big Brother's first twist.

During Wednesday's episode, fans saw Danniella Westbrook join the two, sacrificing her place in the main house so the remaining housemates could have their beds unlocked.

Darren told his housemates that he ran into 'four or five' exes at a wedding, who were all their with their partners.

The star went onto say that it was his encounter with Isla, who he dated for two years from 1998, that proved to be the most awkward as he's a huge fan of her now-husband Sacha, as he thinks the Borat star is 'a genius.'

'So when I bumped into her, there was the awkwardness of bumping into an ex you've not seen for a few years and meeting the new partner, but I also wanted to say 'Listen mate, I think you're bloody amazing.' It was great to meet him,' Darren said.

Good to meet you! The actor revealed that he's a huge fan of Isla's now-husband Sacha Baron Cohen, as he thinks the Borat star is 'a genius.'

Darren revealed before going in the house that he's still on good terms with the family of his ex fiancee Anna Friel, explaining: 'Anna's mum and dad I've kept in touch with and we've just wished each other a happy new year, so things aren't as bad as people may think.

'With all of my relationships, we had a very public get-together, relationship and break up.'

Talk also turned to both Darren and Danniella's past addictions as they whiled away the hours in the box.

While Darren revealed that his six month stint on Hollyoaks saw him briefly living a sober life, before returning to the booze, it was Danniella's revelation about her first try of cocaine that really shocked.

'I started when I was 14, the first thing I ever done was coke,' she told John and Darren.

Darren revealed that he first started taking cocaine when he was 28, and admitted he was hooked on the drug the first night.

Danniella is keen to create a fresh start with her time in the CBB house, telling her housemates, 'This is it for me, I need to clear the sh*t that I'm carrying,' adding that she thinks the most addictive thing in life is fame, and that she sees it a lot in people who are reality based and who are desperate for time in the spotlight.
