Big Brother shock! Eight of the contestants appeared to recognise each other on last night's opening show. And here was I thinking that was against the rules. Conspiracy theory? Cock-up? Or should I get a life?
For those of you who missed it (what were you doing? Watching The Line of Beauty on Sky Plus or something?), viewers were introduced to the 14 contestants for the first time last night.
Except it wasn't the first time some of them had been introduced to each other. First up, Shahbaz, an "unemployed cross dresser" from Glasgow, recognised yoga-mad Brummie Dawn. "Oh my god," cried Shahbaz. "Come here you, what's going on?" That's what I thought.
Then Welsh lifeguard Glyn recognised Dawn, Lisa recognised Shahbaz (keep up) and Nikki, whose dream is to marry a Premiership footballer, get her hair and nails done and go out for lunch, recognised Grace. "We both worked together," explained dance teacher Grace.
Heaven forbid we should take this sort of thing too seriously - no-one's pretending it's real, for goodness sake - but it does seem a bit unfair on the housemates who don't know anyone. Not that I'm going to lose any sleep over Harrow-educated George, who has no friends and hates "immigrants who don't appreciate this country".
Still, we've asked Channel 4 to clarify the situation, and we'll let you know when they get back to us. In the meantime, roll on Springwatch.
And now the first of the Golden Tickets has been found. How many KitKats are going to be sold in pursuit of those?
