Perez Hilton left his fellow contestants stunned when he returned to the 'Celebrity Big Brother' house during Tuesday night's live show.
MORE 'CBB':
The housemates had previously been under the impression that Perez had walked from the show, when in fact he'd been given a secret mission and was watching their every move from within the 'CBB' house.
The group excitedly welcomed Perez back into the house when he emerged from the diary room following Patsy Kensit's departure from the house… well, apart from Cami-Li and Katie Hopkins, that is, who were actually speechless for what must be the first time since launch night.

Emma Willis then announced to the housemates that the public had voted to "curse" Perez, and he'd now face every eviction until the last day of the series - a result which he seemed more than happy with.
