MORE CASH: White Dee wants megabucks to return to Benefits Street [SWNS]
The reality dole queen, 42, is among stars who Channel 4 producers are said to want to feature in a follow-up to the smash hit reality show.
But the canny Brummie, real name Deirdre Kelly, has refused unless they pay her a huge fee.
Dee’s agent Barry Tomes said: “All the main characters who appeared on the show have moved on from the Street except Dee.
“Many of them felt let down by the way the producers portrayed them, including her.
“And she knows they’ve made a ton of money from the to put their show, so they would have to put their hands deep in their pockets if they wanted Dee to talk.”
Barry spoke as Dee’s neighbours on Birmingham’s James Turner Street plotted against TV company Love Productions’ plans to film them again.
The firm has decided to film Benefits Street 2 there after being run out of Liverpool, Hull and Stockton-on-Tees, where they had made inquiries.
Some families in James Turner Street are now putting up “C4 stay out” posters in their windows.
They even plan to wear White Dee masks if camera crews do arrive.

One resident said: “A lot of the people have been left devastated by the impact of the show, which has portrayed the street in the worst possible light.
“The shows generally featured the same few people. White Dee was in almost every scene, which is obviously because no-one else wanted to be filmed.”
