She may have said Celebrity Big Brother was the worst experience of her life, but Nicola McLean has returned for this year’s beyond exciting series.
During her days on *CBB *in 2012, married mum-of-two Nicola faced criticism for getting extremely close to X Factor contestant Frankie Cocozza, who was naked in a hot tub.
Yep, super awkward.
History is already repeating itself this year, as Nicola shocked fellow housemates when she drunkenly flirted with footballer Jamie O’Hara and revealed they had kissed before. She later asked him to take care of her and come into her bed once the lights were off.
We bet hubby won’t be happy…
Before entering the house, Nicola hit out at Jamie’s ex-wife and her former BFF, Danielle Lloyd on Twitter. The feud began when Danielle announced on Instagram the name of her new pup, Rocky, which is the same name as Nicola’s eldest son.
To make matters more bizarre, Jamie knows husband Tom through their footballing connection.
We know, our heads hurt too.
So who’s the girl behind all this controversy you ask? We've got you covered.

Nicola McLean is an English glamour model and television personality, born in London to Scottish parents.
How old is Nicola McLean?
Nicola is 35 and she was born on September 16, 1981.
Who is Nicola McLean married to?
Nicola’s married to Arizona United footballer, Tom Williams who has also played for West Ham, Queens Park Rangers and Swansea City. The couple married in 2009 and have two sons together, Rocky and Striker Williams.
In 2014 rumours emerged he had cheated on her in a Las Vegas nightclub. Outspoken Nicola dumped and publically slammed him, claiming he would never "get anyone better" than her.
OUCH.
However, Nicola surprisingly took him back and the couple reunited in 2015.
What modelling has Nicola McLean done?
Glamour model Nicola rose to fame in the 90’s when she modelled for Page 3 of The Sun, between 1999 and 2004, and again for The Daily Star from 2000 until 2006.
She even came fourth in The Sun’s poll for the 'Best Page 3 Girl Of All Time,' beating her long-time rival Katie Price.
Meow.
What is Nicola McLean's Celebrity Big Brother History?
Nicola first entered Celebrity Big Brother back in 2012 when she came in seventh place.
During her time on the show she famously got cosy with wild child Frankie Cocozza in a hot tub- despite being 12 years his senior, and endangering her marriage with Tom.
Has Nicola McLean been on anything else?
Although she 'retired' from modelling in 2006, being a stay at home mum clearly didn’t suit her as Nicola was soon in the public eye again, appearing in the Channel 5 documentary Help! I’ve Got a High Maintenance Wife.
She has since appeared on WAGS’ World… With Nicola McLean on Wedding TV, and Channel 5’s Generation Sex.
Yes, Chanel 5 is the gift that keeps on giving.
In 2008 Nicola became the face of Ultimo, where she modelled their range of D-G cup bras.
She then went down under in I’m a Celebrity Get Me Out of Here, where she famously rowed with singer David Van Day.
Remember she called him a "vile, vile creature," and blanked him when she left the camp and he tried to hug her goodbye?
We sure do.
Despite impressing with sexy shower scenes in the jungle, Nicola came sixth in the show, two places behind competitor David.
That’s got to sting.
