Now thanks to the couple theme of this year's show, she'll be able to enter with her beloved inked fella Chet and will, more likely than not, get intimate with him on national telly.

But what do we know about the blue-haired beauty from Liverpool?

What does Helen do with her days?

Helen is an Instagram blogger who frequently jets off on holidays, models for brands and promotes beauty products online.

She's a self-confessed cat obsessive and adores her Persian kitten, who's two and will need some serious baby-sitting during Big Brother.

The 21-year-old also has two adorable dogs who she dotes on and pampers as much as possible.

How long has Helen been going out with Chet?

The pair have been internet official since February 2016, but they used to date a while before that as well.

When they met up again on Ex On The Beach, Chet described her as "the one who got away", before they walked off together along the beach of the title.

Chet is the brother of Casey from Stereo Kicks, who failed to grab X Factor glory in 2014.

Does she have any reality TV beefs?

After Ex On The Beach, Chet and Helen took against "TV's biggest bully" Megan McKenna, star of TOWIE, who was meant to be joining them on the show.

Apparently Megan called one of their friends, Lacey Fuller, fat and refused to take part in the MTV programme.

Chet and Helen have mocked Megan on Snapchat on numerous occasions, usually poking fun at her "yuck" eyebrows.

When does Big Brother start?

No official start date has been released yet by Channel 5.

Based on recent years it's likely to start in late May or early June.

The celebrity version will follow in July or August.
