CHESNEY Hawkes made a big impression as he became the first housemate to enter the new CBB house.
Within seconds of his VT playing, Chesney admitted viewers are likely to get an eyeful.

The One and Only hitmaker said he’s a “bit of a nudist” and has no issue getting his kit off.
And he doubled down when he was introduced to Will Best and AJ Odudu in front of the live audience, looking slightly concerned when they told him he would be shown in the buff if he strips off.
Wearing incredibly tight trousers, Will then cheekily said: “You are the wang and only!”
After Chesney stepped inside he was immediately given a challenge by Big Brother: introduce yourself to the first four housemates as “The one and only Chesney Hawkes”.
JoJo Siwa was the next housemate to join Chesney in the house and he immediately recited the catchphrase he’d been told to say.
He continued to do it as requested by Big Brother as he was slowly joined by more stars including Trisha Goddard, Chris Hughes and Patsy Palmer.
BECOMING A STAR
Chesney shot to international stardom at the tender age of 19, when he won the title role in the film Buddy’s Song.
In 1991, he released his biggest single The One and Only from the film’s soundtrack which shot to Number One in the UK Singles Chart for five weeks and reached the top 10 in the United States.
Since becoming one of the early 90s biggest popstars, Hawkes released eight singles including I’m a Man Not a Boy and Secrets of the Heart.
Along with Celebrity Big Brother, he has appeared in a number of TV shows.
In 2025, he competed in Channel 4’s The Games and won a Bronze Medal.
Chesney also took part in the ITV programme Hit Me Baby One More Time that same year.
