When Ibiza Weekender's David, 30, strutted in without his trousers on, it didn't go down well with the pair.

Sharon gasped: "His fruit and veg are hanging down at the front, and I find that a little bit disturbing."

Louis sniped: "Who is he? That's a bit much!"

But appearing on Late and Loud after the CBB launch show, Ellie Young hit back.

She told hosts AJ Odudu and Will Best: "He looks amazing. I don't care what Sharon and Louis say.

"They haven't got the X Factor, he has the X Factor."

Meanwhile CBB fans have predicted David will be the first housemate to leave.

Louis and Sharon were told to choose three of the celebrities to put in "the danger zone", with David, YouTube star Zeze Millz and Kate Middleton's uncle Gary Goldsmith ending up at risk.

Explaining her decision to put the three in the "ring of fire", Sharon said: "I think that David's come to show off.

"I think he's trying too hard to be outrageous.

"Gary, I think, is very nervous and I don't think that he is comfortable yet, and Zeze, I didn't get a sense of who she is yet."

Viewers took to social media to share their predictions, with many landing on David as the first to leave the series.

"That's David out for deffo then…" one said.

A second reacted: "Calling it now David & Lauren will be the first 2 out."
