“I don’t know what to say. I can’t believe I’ve come second.

“In the whole of my celebrity career I never thought I’d get another chance at putting the wrong right and this show has helped me to do just that.

“My daughter’s 10 and I want to make her proud of me.

“A massive thank you for each and every phone call it will mean so much to my babies.

“I’ve met some solid friends in there, paddy being the main one that helped me every single day to believe in me.

As to the question surrounding her relationship with Lucien Laviscount which caused a few raised eyebrows and concerns that the troubled star was going to end up getting hurt, she quickly explained that they were just two very good friends and that she felt like an older sister to the flirty teenager: “I kiss everybody on the lips. I hug everyone. I’m a very touchy-touch feely. I like a bit of contact”, added the star.
