Vicki Gunvalson set to return to ‘Real Housewives of Orange County’ for Season 20

The “OG of the OC” is back!

Vicki Gunvalson is set to return to “The Real Housewives of Orange County” for Season 20.

The news was delivered by Andy Cohen during the taping of The Bravos at BravoCon in Las Vegas on Friday.

While Gunvalson was on stage, Cohen, 57, made a surprise appearance, presented her with an orange and asked, ”Vicki, would you join us as a housewife for Season 20?”

The 63-year-old appeared emotional, as she gave him a hug and exclaimed, “Yes!”

Gunvalson, who was a Housewife when the show debuted in 2006, appeared on 14 seasons of the series before announcing her departure in January 2020.

“I will always be the OG of the OC, but it’s time to say goodbye to The Real Housewives of Orange County. It’s been an incredible ride for 14 years and I want thank all of you for your support, for your love and for ‘whooping it up’ with me along the way,” she wrote in a lengthy statement at the time.

“I’ve been working on new projects that will be exciting, empowering and inspirational. My podcast with Westwood One will be launching soon and I will have much more to say about this on ‘Whoop it up with Vicki,’” she added.

“I hope you will join me with my new journey so please stay tuned.  I love all my fans, and I want to thank Bravo and Evolution for this incredible experience which my family and I have will never forget.”

The news comes after Gunvalson and former co-star Tamra Judge squashed their feud.

“We’ve had a lot of ups and downs in our 20 years. I always say we’re like sisters,” Judge told Us Weekly on Nov. 5.

“It’s that love-hate relationship all the time. I’m talking sisterly love, like, you have little arguments. And then, of course, being on a show together, there’s always ups and downs — especially the type of show that we were on together.”

Gunvalson added, “I don’t think either one of us apologized. We are who we are. I just have a different viewpoint on the show, and it’s a strong viewpoint. I can’t do toxic. I told Tamra yesterday, ‘You guys are going into a deep, dark hole. I hate it.’”

The “RHOC” Season 19 cast included Judge, Shannon Beador, Heather Dubrow, Gina Kirschenheiter, Emily Simpson, Jennifer Pedranti and Katie Ginella. It’s not yet clear who will be joining Gunvalson for Season 20.
