No problem on the return, of course.

Your CE ticket class does not get you in, but ... if you are BA Gold then yes, for you alone (no guest) under the Open Doors policy. However I bet you are arriving in one terminal with BA and departing from another with the LCC - in which case you are out of luck.
The Open Doors is one of the benefits I regularly get some use of, when I am in places other than LHR!!
