HARDMAN Paddy Doherty has signed up for a second series of Big Fat Gypsy Weddings - despite claiming that the show almost got him KILLED.
The Irishman whinged that he wished he had never appeared, saying: "I'm not a celebrity."
But yesterday Channel 4 announced he WILL star in the second series, along with dressmaker Thelma Madine.
The series will also follow a new group of brides-to-be. The ratings sensation - which pulled in 9.1 million viewers in its first run - will return early next year.
Makers Firecracker Films have already signed up new Irish travellers and English and Romany gypsies.
A spokeswoman said: "The new series will retain the spectacular celebrations and rite-of-passage events that made the first so popular.
"However, each film will also investigate themes that arose from the first series - work and money, life on the road, the family, health, prejudice, education and cultural differences."
Channel 4's Tina Flintoff said: "Big Fat Gypsy Weddings was a phenomenon.
"We want to offer an even deeper insight into the gypsy and traveller way of life without losing what makes the show accessible - the weddings and spectacular celebrations."
