Nicola McLean joins Celebrity Big Brother All Stars line-up alongside the biggest names in the show’s history
NICOLA McLean has signed up to the next series of Celebrity Big Brother.
The glamour model and TV star, 35, is returning to the house alongside an all-star line-up following her previous success on the show in 2012, as she continues to put a difficult few years behind her.
The mum-of-two was praised by fans for her previous stint on the reality show, and she became one of the most well known names of the series thanks to her honest opinions and racy antics on camera.
Despite an explosive row with Denise Welch which saw her later voted out, she became one of the most memorable stars in the show's history.
Now Nicola's set to bring more drama and jaw-dropping scenes to the latest All Star series.
A source exclusively told The Sun Online: "Nicola is going back into the CBB house. She's had the worst two years of her life but now she's feeling strong and she is desperate to let her hair down and have some fun in there..."
The star was hit with heartbreak in 2014 when she sensationally accused her husband Tom Williams of cheating on her in Las Vegas on social media, admitting at the time: "I'm the lowest I've ever felt."
However the girl in question denied the claims, insisting nothing happened between her and Tom, and he kept silent on the rumours throughout.
Nicola was later rumoured to have reunited with her other half - putting the difficult time behind her.
Meanwhile, Nicola's rival Katie Price teased her own dream of returning to the CBB house just hours ago.
The former glamour model won Celebrity Big Brother back in 2015 but was in agony throughout the show after her latest boob op went wrong.
Now, she’s hinted she’d go back into the house, telling her fans: “It’s only rumours by I would do big brother again now I’m heathy [sic].”
Katie even appeared to start her own campaign, ending her tweet with: “#getpriceyincbb.”
And our source added: "Nicola and Katie have come to blows in the past but they're fine now. Nicola is a fan of Katie's and thinks they will have a real laugh together."
The star previously revealed their long-running feud began while she was in the I'm A Celebrity jungle in 2008, when Katie allegedly said some nasty things about her.
They later made amends, and would no doubt bring more drama if they were to star in the house together.
Nicola received huge praise for her time in the I'm A Celebrity jungle, going on to appear in TV shows including Loaded TV's Looser Women and Channel 5's TV documentary Help! I've Got a High Maintenance Wife.
And now she's set to hit reality TV screens again, following the difficult few years.
