White Dee is set to return to the Celebrity Big Brother house, it has been revealed.

Just when we thought the latest series couldn’t get any crazier, there's news that the Benefits Street star is making a comeback.

It would be a sensational return because Dee, real name Deidre Kelly, starred in the August 2014 series.

A source confirmed that Celebrity Big Brother producers have booked Dee, who shot to fame on Benefits Street, to return.

She will appear next Wednesday January 20.

At the moment she has only been booked to go back in for a day as part of a task.

But with at least one housemate walking out, there is a chance that the colourful Brummie could stay longer in the Channel 5 series.

Dee, 44, first appeared in series 14 of Celebrity Big Brother. On entering the house, she had to pretend she was the Duchess of Solihull, and the 21st person in line to the British throne, in order to fool US housemates Gary Busey and Leslie Jordan.

Although she made a big impact, she eventually came fifth in the series.

Dee's manager Barry Tomes confirmed he had been in discussions with TV company Endemol but would not reveal any more details.

Dee herself is staying silent, although teased on Twitter "See you later @TomesPR" at a suggestion she could be replacing Jonathan in the Big Brother house.

Called Black Dee to differentiate her but actually named Samora Roberts, she was sent down for possessing live ammunition and her part in running a drug-dealing operation as revealed in yesterday's Birmingham Mail.
