Hi Sarah! You looked really shocked when you realised you were going – how are you feeling about all that?
"Gutted! We've been robbed, we've been absolutely robbed of our place."
Do you feel like it's really unfair?
"It's Big Brother. It's how it is. Everything's unfair in that house!"
You weren't nominated by your housemates, so does it sting that you've gone anyway?
"Yeah. It's even worse, because if you're going to go, you want to go the natural way. So it's just a bit s**t that we just got kicked out basically because we were the ones who were liked in the house."
You seemed quite angry last night – do you feel quite annoyed?
"No – did I seem angry? No, I wouldn't say that. I was just shocked. I was excited – obviously this morning I've woken up and I've got to speak to my daughter and all the rest of it. When you've gone you just feel excited to know what's gone on and what's been happening and to see all your friends and family and what have you."
Emma suggested last night that you didn't live up to your VT – is that fair?
"I think everybody's VTs are over-exaggerated versions of themselves. That's what a VT is. So I mean, I've not even seen my own VT, I don't know what's on it, so I can't really answer that. I was definitely myself, 100%."
Emma and the show were kind of suggesting that you were getting on too well as a group. Is that true?
"Definitely, yeah. It was too calm, and I thought that. We all thought that. We were all just a big happy family. I mean, bar a few arguments and tiffs, which is what families do. We were all really tight together, which is especially why even before I was going I could sense it about to kick off. We knew something was going to happen last night. But I didn't think I was going to go – I really didn't."
You were the last one to go, so did you think, 'It must all be over by now, I'm probably safe'?
"Yeah, I did think that. I really did think I was safe. The moment I thought we'd done it was after the time thing where Danny walked back out, and I thought, 'Oh, done, this is done now'."
How do you think Danny's going to cope now he's lost you and Kieran?
"Not well, not well. No. Not at all."
I saw him saying something to you when you were leaving – what was he saying?
"That's a secret!"
You didn't want to talk to Emma about Danny – why?
"It's not that I didn't want to talk about it, it's just that I think nothing happened. And I knew it would have been made out to be a lot more than it actually was."
Do you think if you'd stayed in the house something would have happened?
"That house is really weird, the way you behave. And the other thing about that house is that it's indescribable how closely connected you feel to the people in that house. They feel like the only people in the world, once you've been in there for about a week. They are the only people in the world to you. You know that something's out there, and you know that all the people you love are out there, but those people are really important and you get very close to them."
Did you have feelings for Danny then, or were you beginning to?
"He was a nice guy. He's a very, very sweet, nice guy. He's a proper gentleman as well."
You seemed really taken by that comment he made about you.
"Yeah – I've never really heard anybody speak about me that way, and it was really sweet. I'm not very good at taking compliments, so I sort of kicked the box I was on and sort of grinned to myself – I don't know what I was thinking! But I did later on thank him."
You hinted last night that you were like you were with Danny with all of the other housemates, but they just showed you with Danny. Is that true?
"Yeah. I was probably like it slightly more with Danny, if I'm being really fair and honest! I don't think it's necessarily editing, I think it's just what they choose to show. I think that if they choose to show me cuddled up in bed with Danny, and not choose to show me cuddled up in bed with Aaron or Kieran or Jade, then that's what they've chosen to show and it looks as if that's all that's going on, really."
We've already heard Danny has been clashing with Marc – how is he going to deal with him? Do you think Marc could be the alpha male in the house?
"No, he can't. No, no way. There was a conversation in the kitchen between Chloe and Danny and me, where basically Danny was just shaking his head, not interested at all. He ain't going to run that house! It's Danny's house – he's the producer! That was an in joke in the house. Basically, we all thought that Big Brother loved Danny more than Big Brother loved the rest of us! Whenever anything with evictions happened and especially when the luxury thing was going on, the consistent joke was that Danny got called into the Diary Room for a luxurious three-course meal and a massage. We started calling him the producer of the show because of his preferential treatment!"
So you think Danny's going to be top dog rather than Marc.
"Definitely, definitely – Team Danny all the way."
You obviously spent a little bit of time with a couple of the new housemates – what do you think of them?
"It was a bit weird to be honest. The girl, Harry, I met her and then watched her VT and she's nothing like that. She was very quiet and like, 'What's going on?' And then I came out and watched her VT: 'Yeah, I'm going to stir s**t up'. She's going to do f**k all, that's what she's going to do. F**k all. And she was wearing PVC, latex, with her tits out. First impressions count for something, don't they?"
So you weren't impressed with her!
"Not really. And Marc, Jade said straight from the get go, 'I know him, he's a w**ker'. I came out and watched his VT – w**ker. W**ker all the way. And he sat down at the table when we all got called back on the chairs and he said something like, 'Oh, it's like coming to a funeral'. Which obviously it is – half of our friends had just gone. Danny hit back at him straight away, 'Well, you form bonds with people in this house', so I'm not surprised in the slightest that there's already been an argument between Marc and Danny."
Do you think Marc's trying too hard to stir things up and maybe being a bit fake?
"It's hard to make a proper judgement on somebody in the five minutes you meet them, but I don't think any of the housemates particularly like them. I don't understand - the one at the end, my replacement, she seems quite nice."
Simon's gone back in as well – what did you make of that?
"Oh, God. We all knew he was coming. We definitely, 150% knew that guy was coming back. We didn't know when or why or where or how, but we knew he was coming back. I would have liked to live with him. I would have given him a run for his money. You can't bitch at me!"
In last night's show we saw how annoyed you were with the whole Aaron situation and Joel. Can you explain what was going through your mind with all that?
"Joel is a very confused 19-year-old. In my opinion, I don't think he entirely knows his own status or opinions. One minute he's running around with Aaron and getting in the bath with Aaron and sharing baths together. And Joel asked Aaron a lot of intimate, sexual questions – he really wanted to know everything about the gay community, everything about Aaron's sex life, and then he's dressing up in women's clothes and having his arse slapped by a 51-year-old. He's got two polar opposite personalities – one is he's just ridiculous to the point of, 'Are you gay? What are you? Do you know what you are?' And the other's so serious that it's like it's put on."
Who do you think is the real Joel? Or is it a mixture?
"I really don't know. I mean, that's what I'm saying – that is my opinion. In my opinion, I think he's confused, but I don't know."
Do you think your argument with Joel could have been part of the reason you were evicted?
"If it is, I stand up to that completely."
You had an interesting relationship with Cristian – what was going on between you two? How would you describe your relationship?
"People wanted to call him misunderstood, but I think there's only so many weeks where you can call somebody misunderstood. Cristian's a really nice kid, he really is. I think the whole process of Big Brother kind of knocked him for six. And he was at times quite difficult to get along with – he was a very sensitive young chap. That's it!"
Who were you thinking about nominating this week?
"I would have stuck with my same nominations – Joel and Eileen. Eileen is not a bad person – nobody thinks that – but it's very obvious that, 'You're 51. Everybody in this house is at least 20 years younger than you'. It just doesn't add to the mix very well. Even though she is a lovely woman and I've got respect for my elders, I just don't think she fits in very well. I don't know whether they show that or what they show, because obviously I've not watched it back, but come 11 o'clock you can see she's desperate just to go off to bed rather than sit around playing with us lot, but she feels as if she has to, to sort of stay in the mix."
Simon's a bit older, so do you think that could change?
"Maybe. Obviously the dynamics of the house will be absolutely thrown now."
Who do you want to win?
"Danny!"
And if you could go back into the house, would you?
"Yeah, definitely. Definitely. It's great fun, I love that house. Honest to God, it is a playground for adults, with alcohol and just everybody running around screaming and laughing their tits off. And just this voice that comes over saying, 'This is Big Brother, will housemates please calm down?' It's brilliant, it's absolutely fantastic. And then when we're all going absolutely wild at night, you get, 'Will housemates go to sleep immediately?' We're all laughing our tits off! But it's great, it's fantastic. I loved every minute of it."
