In Touch has exclusively learned that supervillain Danielle Staub is returning to The Real Housewives of New Jersey.

“Bravo has offered Danielle a contract,” a show insider reveals exclusively to In Touch. “Danielle is contemplating whether this will be full-time or part-time.”

Another source confirms the news, telling In Touch, “She will be filming several episodes.” According to the source, filming for the upcoming series has already begun and is capturing feuding sister-in-laws Teresa and Melissa as they – separately – pick up the pieces in the aftermath of Hurricane Sandy.

“The producers squeezed all the juice they could from the Giudices-versus-Gorgas story line and had to think of a fresh outlet for drama,” the source tells In Touch, referring to the recent fireworks between Teresa Giudice and her sister-in-law, Melissa Gorga. With Danielle, there shouldn’t be any shortage of theatrics. “Having her back on will ruffle a lot of feathers!”
