Gemma Collins Returns to Big Brother House as Guest

Gemma Collins is set to return to the Big Brother house as a guest, with the reality TV personality expected to join the ITV2 show for a short stint following previous celebrity appearances and recent housemate changes.

According to Digital Spy, Collins is scheduled to enter the house this week after reports from The Sun said she would spend a few nights there. ITV has been contacted for comment.

Collins previously appeared on Celebrity Big Brother in 2016, where her memorable moments included several widely shared lines and a feud with Tiffany Pollard.

"I'm claustrophobic Darren" was among the lines fans remembered from Collins' previous Big Brother appearance, said fans.

"Get that fire exit door" was another phrase associated with Collins' time on the show, said fans.

The planned appearance follows earlier guest visits from Jedward and Michael Tays Taylor. Digital Spy reported that the current series has also featured new housemates Twinks and Catrin after Johanne's eviction.

"TV gold" described the scenes involving Jedward's confrontation with other housemates, said fans.

"Fabulous entertainment" was another reaction shared by viewers after the episode, said fans.

"Old school BB is back" was a comment from viewers praising the drama, said fans.

Collins has built a long television career since appearing on The Only Way Is Essex in 2011. Capital FM reported that she has also appeared on shows including I'm A Celebrity...Get Me Out Of Here!, Dancing On Ice and her own documentary series.

She also discussed the death of her mother Joan Collins in an interview about her documentary Gemma Collins: Everything. All At Once.

"It's a rollercoaster. When I watched it back, it was a killer because when I watched episodes 1 and 2 she died the next day. It’s been terribly difficult to watch it. In a way it’s nice because mum's in the show all the way through and I think that she’s still here - that was healing for me and gives me great comfort." said Gemma Collins.

Kate Lawler, the host of Big Brother spin-off The Group Chat, addressed speculation about Collins' possible return while speaking to Attitude. She said the series was already strong but that Collins' arrival would add further attention.

"I don't know anything, but the GC going in would be amazing if it happens," said Kate Lawler, Big Brother host.

Lawler continued discussing the rumored appearance and compared Collins' personality with previous celebrity guests. She said she would share information if she had it.

"They don't tell me anything, otherwise I'd tell everybody, like you. But she is a self-confessed diva and I feel like Jedward are pretty diva-esque in themselves." said Kate Lawler, Big Brother host.

Big Brother continues to air on ITV2 and stream on ITVX, while the house remains affected by face-to-face nominations and upcoming eviction developments.
