As Celebrity Big Brother returns to our screens on Monday for the first time in six years, fans are eagerly anticipating four weeks of laughs, tears and drama from inside the famous house.

And there is one person that is particularly excited to be watching the new series - OK! columnist Kerry Katona. Kerry was in the Celebrity Big Brother house herself back in 2011 for Series 8 - and finished runner-up to its charismatic winner, ‘Gypsy King’ Paddy Doherty.
