BIG Brother star Lily Benson has revealed she’s returning to her day job.
The 20-year-old starred in ITV‘s most recent Big Brother series, being evicted on Day 34.
Lily, from Warrington, works in a Chinese takeaway – and is heading back there following her show success.
Speaking exclusively to The Sun, she said: “Yeah I am going to continue working there.
“I’ve been talking about my return with my boss.”
During the series, Lily opened up about how much she enjoys working at the takeaway.
She told some of her fellow housemates: “I work in a Chinese takeaway.
“I love it, I’ve worked there since I was 14.
“So, I can get like vegetarian spring rolls, crispy wonton, barbeque honey ribs, salt and pepper chicken, salt and pepper chips, crispy shredded chilli beef, kung pao sauce separate.
“Noodles with bean sprouts, boiled rice, portion of chips on the side and prawn crackers and prawn toast.
“You can come to my Chinese, and I’ll order it.”
While appearing on Big Brother, Lily sparked romance rumours with Khaled and Tom.
Addressing this, she told The Sun: “It’s been so good coming off the show and the right person definitely won. It’s been surreal.
“When it comes to the backlash and the fake romance rumours, it is a panto and we’re all just human at the end of the day.
Lily previously revealed she signed up for the show to “annoy” her ex-boyfriend.
She told ITV: “I originally applied because it was my ex’s favourite TV show because we broke up.
