Birmingham’s most well-known reality star White Dee – real name Deidre Kelly – was spotted serving pints over the Bank Holiday weekend, only days after revealing she’s broke and nearly homeless.

The Celebrity Big Brother star, who found fame on controversial Channel 4 show Benefits Street back in January 2014, has spent the last two years making a number of television appearances, featuring in magazines and newspapers across the country, had her own TV show and even released a fitness DVD.

In January 2015, her then agent Barry Tomes claimed she was on her way to becoming a millionaire, but only last month the 43-year-old cut ties with her former PR team and admitted to the Birmingham Mail that she was broke and on the verge of losing her home.

Over the weekend, only days after her bombshell revelation, White Dee was seen pouring pints at Birmingham Pride, on a beer stand run by local brewery Davenports.

Chatting to I Am Birmingham’s Andrew Stelly, she said:

“Normally I never ever miss a Pride, because I absolutely love Birmingham Pride. This year, I have actually been commissioned to do a personal appearance behind the Davenport stand bar. So I’ve been behind here and haven’t had the chance yet to experience the event but, oh my God, the response has been amazing!”

Despite the set back, Dee seemed in good spirits and is eager to move forward.

A statement from her new PR team, on behalf of the mum-of-two said: “In fact she finds herself after many TV appearances, personal appearances and pilot shows both in the UK and abroad, near to losing her home and back to square one, again – through no fault of her own, and not for the want of hard work!

“Now under the new management of ‘Team Dee’, she is finding her confidence again and looking at all the many opportunities open to her. From TV work, fitness DVD opportunities and even motivational speaking.”
