Gemma Collins ‘to enter Big Brother house on Friday’

Gemma Collins will reportedly enter the Big Brother house this Friday as a special guest housemate.

The reality TV legend had a memorable stint on Celebrity Big Brother a decade ago, spawning catchphrases and memes that are still part of the cultural zeitgeist.

Last month The GC’s close friends Jedward caused drama during their own guest stay in the house and according to The Sun, she will now be sent in to shake things up further this weekend.

“The stage is set for Gemma and all being well, she’ll be arriving on Friday,” a source told the newspaper.

“Gemma has a lot going on in her work and personal life so there’s still time for changes but above all else Gemma is an intelligent, savvy businesswoman and loves her fans, and knows it would mean a lot to the fandom.

“The GC returning to Big Brother is the signing fans could never see coming because her star has ascended far beyond the reality realm in the last decade, for example she’s just launched her own docuseries on Sky.”

Speaking about her time on BB, Collins has previously said: “Honey, I was the most iconic housemate.

“No-one will beat me or top me or ever come close to my wonderful, fabulous performance on Big Brother.

“I was the most iconic person ever to come off of that show.”

Big Brother continues Sundays to Fridays at 9pm on ITV2 and ITVX.
