Big Brother legend Gemma Collins to officially enter house this week

In a legendary move, Gemma Collins will re-enter the Big Brother house a decade after her original run.

The TV star had a sensational stint in 2016, from letting everyone know she’s ‘claustrophobic’ to complaining about her lack of heated hair rollers.

Now, the GC is back and, according to The Sun, she’ll be landing in the Big Brother house this Friday.

A source claimed: ‘The stage is set for Gemma and all being well, she’ll be arriving on Friday.

‘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 latest series has previously seen Jedward crash into the house during Double Trouble week.

John and Edward Grimes, who first appeared on Celebrity Big Brother in 2011 and are good pals with Gemma, ended up having a fight with Lynx in the hot tub.

It’s also been reported that Tiffany Pollard could make an appearance, as ITV bosses spice up the non-celeb series.

Famously, she clashed with Gemma on their series over a pair of Dolce & Gabbana shoes, sparking a diary room rant.

The insider continued: ‘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.’

Gemma has previously said how much she loves the show, branding herself ‘the most iconic housemate’.

‘No-one will beat me or top me or ever come close to my wonderful, fabulous performance on Big Brother,’ she said previously of the Channel 5 era.

‘I was the most iconic person ever to come off of that show.’

It’s hard to argue with a woman who kicked open a fire escape door four times and demanded: ‘Get that fire exit door, I’m off.’

It’s been a tumultuous series so far, having already ruffled feathers with various arguments and controversial remarks.

One of the most recent episodes saw the housemates engage in a debate about transgender people’s rights to public bathrooms and gendered sports.

Philip Regan claimed people could ‘be clblocked as a fridge’ if they wanted to, before leaving the room after Twinks pushed back over needing ‘community’.

He accused Twinks of trying to ’cause trouble’, with the group advising him to ‘get Omar out of that conversation’ because ‘I know what she’s doing’.

Twinks and Omar went on to discuss allyship, with the pair finishing the conversation with a handshake, declaring it was a ‘good chat’.
