Longtime Celebrity Wheel of Fortune host Vanna White has agreed to come back to the star-studded version of the game show, Deadline and TMZ reported Thursday.

News of the partial deal comes after sources told TMZ last month that White who has been on Wheel of Fortune for over three decades had threatened to quit if she doesnt see a raise. She makes significantly less than her soon-to-retire co-host Pat Sajak for the show and its spinoff.

Whites contract with the original version of Wheel of Fortune is set to continue through next year, and her future pay has not yet been settled.

Whites lawyer Bryan Freedman reportedly told Sony Pictures Television Studios, the shows producer, that the host wanted half of what Sajak made on the Celebrity version a number that Sony did not reveal but that sources said is just north of $400,000.

White agreed to $100,000 an episode for the Celebrity version, TMZ reported.
