Chesney Hawkes Enters CBB House—But Viewers Already HaveThatSong on Repeat
So, Celebrity Big Brother is officially back, and what a way to kick things off in 2025. The show's return on ITV brought the usual mix of drama, glitz, and over-the-top entrances—but one name in particular stole the spotlight the moment the doors opened: Chesney Hawkes.

Yep, The One and Only himself was the first star to walk into the house, and it didn’t take long—literally, just minutes—for the internet to collectively sigh, laugh, and roll its eyes. Why? Because of that song. You know the one. As soon as Chesney appeared, his 1991 smash hit “The One and Only” started blaring—again, and again, and again. And fans were... well, kind of over it.
Within moments, social media, especially X (formerly Twitter), lit up with complaints. “Drink every time they play that abysmal song,” one viewer joked. Another predicted we'd hear it "500 times this series." Memes were flying around showing people clutching bottles and burying their faces in pillows. And honestly, can you blame them? It was played so often in just the launch show, it felt like a flashback to the early '90s on loop.
To make things even more intense, Big Brother gave Chesney a cheeky secret mission right out the gate. He had to introduce himself to the next four housemates as “The One and Only Chesney Hawkes.” A fun nod, sure—but one that quickly became a running gag that wore thin fast. Still, fair play to him, he did it with enthusiasm, collecting early points for the group in the show’s new “very hush hush” game twist.
Despite the groans about the song, Chesney seems pretty up for the experience. He said he’s excited to learn more about himself—yes, even after 53 years of living with himself. He also mentioned he’s looking forward to a break from mundane tasks like taking the bins out. Honestly, relatable. His energy is lighthearted and open, which might actually win people over, if we can get a breather from the song.
He was soon joined by JoJo Siwa, who brought her usual bubbly energy, and other stars like Trisha Goddard, Chris Hughes, and Patsy Palmer. But let’s be real—Chesney made the biggest first impression, both thanks to his chart-topping anthem and, well, his willingness to strip down in his intro video. (He admitted he’s a “bit of a nudist”... you do you, Chesney.)
So, while the series is just getting started, one thing's for sure: Chesney Hawkes might be “The One and Only,” but if that song keeps playing, viewers might start wishing he was just... one of many. Here's hoping the producers ease up on the repeat button and let the man show us who he is beyond his biggest hit.
Either way, CBB is back, and if this launch is anything to go by, we’re in for a wild ride.
