Benefits Street star White Dee, 52, reveals she was forced to move home amid fears for her children’s safety after stint on Celebrity Big Brother [Video]

Benefits Street’s Deirdre ‘White Dee’ Kelly has revealed she was forced to move home after her appearance on Celebrity Big Brother over fears for her children’s safety.

The reality TV star shot to fame after a stint on Channel 4‘s five-part series which explored the lives of residents on James Turner Street, Birmingham in 2014.

She then featured in the Big Brother house later that year but was ‘forced’ to leave her house on the street after concerns emerged over her family’s safety.

Ms Kelly told ITV‘s This Morning about her ordeal: ‘It’s kind of a funny story because I went to Celebrity Big Brother, I left my house on James Turner Street to go into Celebrity Big Brother, came out, and we moved.

‘So it’s like “oh my God”, they’ve moved my home but I can see why they did it because of the profile, even for the safety of my kids, really.
