Kirstie Alley has been appointed President of the 'Celebrity Big Brother' house.



The 'Cheers' actress was the first star to enter the famous abode yesterday evening and it wasn't long before she was given a special task.



She was told by Big Brother: "You are the first to enter the house, but Big Brother has a much bigger role for you than First Lady. You will be the president and have special powers and privileges. The public will vote for one of your fellow housemates to be Vice President.



But the 67-year-old star didn't have to keep the news a secret for too long as Big Brother made an announcement as soon as all of the housemates had entered, ordering everyone to the garden to reveal the president's "private residence".
