It looks like Daniella Westbrook will be returning to soaps this year - but maybe not the one you were thinking.

The former EastEnders actress told reporters including Digital Spy that she should be in some form of soap before the summer.

But fans hoping that she'll be reunited with Barbara Windsor and Ross Kemp in Albert Square might be disappointed.

Asked if she was returning to soaps, the Celebrity Big Brother finalist said: "To be perfectly honest, at the end of the day I am an actress first and foremost - that's exactly what I want to do, to go back to acting, soaps, whatever it may be.

"I've got a few things. I spoke with my agent for 20 minutes last night and I couldn't even take it in, he was texting and I was like, 'Just leave me until Monday!'

"I've got a lot of things that people want me to do at the moment so I'm going to look at it all on Monday, but yeah, I should be in some form of soap before the summer.

"It might not be the one you think it's going to be! There you go.​"

Westbrook and Kim Medcalf have both played Sam Mitchell in the BBC One soap. The CBB star has also appeared in Hollyoaks.

Daniella Westbrook finished fifth in Celebrity Big Brother behind Tiffany Pollard, Darren Day, Stephanie Davis and eventual winner Scotty T.
So the possibilities are:

-She's teasing and will actually be back for Peggy's finale.

-Sam won't be brought back altogether.

-There's a very outside chance that Kim Medcalf will be brought back if DTC really wants Sam back and Daniella isn't going to be the one.

Which other soap would want her? Even Hollyoaks cancelled her return last year. Her absence was pretty much filled in by Kierston Wareing.

Casualty? Holby? Doctors???

I understand Hollyoaks pulled the return because of last year's drugs relapse - same reason she didn't do CBB in the Autumn as originally scheduled Having seen her cope without for a month, they might well want her back now.

I can't see what Hollyoaks would do with Trudy if she returned now. Didn't they bring in Kierston Wareing to fulfil the storyline they had planned for her?

I hope she returns as Sam. If she doesn't then I want Sam to say her goodbyes off-screen, Kim Medcalf would stick out like a sore thumb in Peggy's final scenes given her limited interaction with Grant and that she only interacted with Babs' Peggy in one era of the show and not the two Danniella did (as well as interacting with the original Peggy).

Yes and it was a waste of Kierston Wareing's time and talent. Her character was a generic gangster and got killed off in that ridiculous Gloved Hand Killer plot. So it's obvious Trudy would've been killed off if Daniella returned as planned.

She better not return as Sam. Kym Medcalf was the better Sam. She probably got a guest role in Doctors or Emmerdale. Can't see her back in EastEnders or Hollyoaks.

Yeah, keep her well away from Emmerdale. Terrible actress can't imagine why Emmerdale would want her.

Is there any evidence that EE might consider bringing back Kim Medcalf or is it just a pipe dream on here? I can't see them doing it even if they don't bring Danniella back.

If I was Danniella, I would wait a little while to see if there is a phone call from EE before making a decision. Best to know fully what is on the table. I guess length of stint would be the deciding factor if more than one soap is after her. However, in HO she would just be another campy bad girl like early Grace and Kierson Wareing's character. That's all Trudy was. I imagine if it's Emmerdale after her (and they have a producer from Hollyoaks now who may have worked with her on that show so it's possible) they would have something more substantial lined up for her but chances are the storyline still won't be as high profile as Peggy's swansong.

I thought she was in talks with EE before she went in CBB

maybe it is eastenders but had to cover her tracks cos she is not meant to let the cat out of the bag.

who knows, I hope she does end up with another job on a soap, I think she deserves another chance and it might keep her on the straight and narrow as she will have focus

Cant abide the miserable cow after her CBB stint. Hope she stays off my screens. She can have a cameo in Doctors if she's lucky.
