BENEFITS Street star Dee Kelly has been photographed looking unrecognisable while on a night out in Birmingham.
Dee, real name Deirdre Kelly, joined fans for the boozy evening, and posed for a series of pictures, including posing while pulling a pint.
The 50-year-old star donned a pink t-shirt and jeans for the evening on the town, and posed for a selfie in another snap.
Dee looked delighted as she hit up some Birmingham hot spots and embraced photo opportunities, while showing off a lighter head of hair than her usual dark brown look.
She posed outside of a pub in another snap, signalling a sign that read 'White Dee from Benefit Street.'
The reality queen famously appeared on Channel 4 show Benefits street – a series which she has said “ripped [her] life apart.”
The show is a British documentary that first aired in 2014 and ran for five episodes, which revealed the reality of life on one of Britain’s most deprived streets.

Dee previously told Birmingham Live: “It changed my life forever and it destroyed the James Turner Street I knew before the show.
"I don't keep in touch with any of the characters featured in the show and in some cases that is a real shame.
"There are still people I do speak to on James Turner Street but none of them appeared on the show."
After the show shot her to celebrity, Dee moved up the road to Handsworth, in the West Midlands.

The mum-of-two made the most of opportunities coming her way and ended up starring on Celebrity Big Brother in 2016, alongside eventual winner US actor Gary Busey, Strictly Come Dancing star James Jordan, boxer Audley Harrison, and Kellie Maloney.
She said of her experience: "I couldn't believe it to be honest. I didn't class myself as a celebrity then and I still don't now so I was just amazed I was placed on it.
“It was an amazing time. I thought I would be first out but I was never put up for eviction and I finished fifth."
In an exclusive interview with The Sun, Dee also bravely told how she had tried to kill herself by swallowing every pill she could find and washing them down with alcohol.
She later told Loose Women how she was “very close” to dying — and what led her to such a dark place.
In 2017 she had emergency surgery for a hysterectomy operation.
Dee came off benefits and now earns cash through media work, interviews, and guest speaker events.
