David Potts, 30, known for his appearance on Ibiza Weekender, was hard to miss as he wore a brightly colored hoodie and tiny shorts.
Ekin-Su Culculoglu, 29, from Love Island, was seen hugging other housemates upon her arrival.
YouTube star Zeze Mills and Strictly’s Nikita Kuzmin, 26, were the latest celebrities spotted entering their hotel.
Although six of the celebrities were reportedly spotted together ahead of the ITV show, other famous names were not in attendance.
X Factor’s Louis Walsh and Sharon Osbourne are also in talks to join the programme.
Ahead of the reboot, fans have labeled the rumored lineup for the new series as “terrible” and said they barely recognize any of the names.
ITV bosses have reportedly spent as much as £2million on a number of high-profile stars for the program after the civilian version proved to be a big hit last year.
However, the response to the stars rumored to be taking part has been disappointing, with many fans complaining that they are hardly celebrities.

Several people have said on social media that they will not watch and predict that the series will “flop” because they have had to Google the names to find out who they are.
One person wrote: ‘I’ve heard from three of them…misselling the word Celebrity,’ while another added: ‘I’m getting old. I only know five of these housemates.’
A third echoed: ‘I’m just Googling 90% of these ‘celebrities’ here, while another said: ‘What an absolutely awful line-up that is, call it the Z-list.’
It has been reported that Louis, 71, reportedly made a huge six-figure deal to let him into the house.
It is thought he will reunite with his former X Factor colleague Sharon in the house as she is also said to be taking part.
However, the TV personality, also 71, is not expected to stay the full 17 days, as insiders said The sun that her fee was too expensive for ITV.
A source told the publication: ‘Sharon is a guest housemate and will not be attending the launch night. Instead, she’ll come in as soon as the show starts and be there for a few days.
‘The compensation she wanted was eye-watering and they eventually reached a deal which meant she would sign up for a shorter period.
However, the response to the rumors about the stars has been disappointing, with many fans complaining that they are hardly celebrities and saying they won’t be tuning in to watch.

While 35-year-old social media star Zeze Mills is expected to be trusted for some dramatic clashes, as her bio reads: “If we can get them in a room with Zeze… the gloves are off.”
American actress Marisha Wallace, 38, hopes to follow the success of previous big American personalities on the show.
While Ekin-Su’s entry into the house would come at a good time for the reality star, following her recent split from her ex-boyfriend Davide Sanclimenti earlier this year.
This morning’s Fern Britton could also bring plenty of juicy gossip as it’s been reported that she has no plans to ‘hold back’ from shedding light on her past feud with Phillip Schofield.
“She wants to show the audience a different side to herself, without a script and without any apology,” a source said The sun.
“She has a lot of stories to tell and she won’t hold back when it comes to her relationships with people like Phil.
