We always knew that our Marnie Simpson was a special lass.

Now, thanks to Celebrity Big Brother, the rest of the non-Geordie-Shore-watchingUK are getting to see that too.

It might only be Day 3 in the CBB house, but Marnie has already emerged as one of the favourites to win.

Obviously, the Geordie Shore squad have always done well in the show - Charlotte Crosby and Scotty T both walked out winners.

But could Marnie follow in their footsteps?

The bookies certainly seem to think so. They've got Marnie's odds at 9-2 and she's only second to Biggins.

But, crucially, the voting public are absolutely LOVING our girl and her ice-cream antics.

Fans are flooding Twitter with messages of support for the brunette beaut.

C'mon Marnie - keep that Geordie Shore flag flying!
