Susieq posted this interview up on TalkBB yesterday, and she says she'd love it to be seen on here too.
Thanks Susie.

Meet Helen Adams, dancing diva and bubbly Welsh blonde from Big Brother.
Why have you decided to make a fitness video?
I've always loved dancing and sometimes a good dance is just what you need instead of plodding away to keep fit. The music is really good too - it's got Robbie, Kylie and Cher - real dance stuff. And you can work at your own pace!
Why did you want to be a contestant on Big Brother?
I was watching a programme about the original housemates and something came up about people who wanted to be on the next one. My friend Paul Waite got an application form for me.
How did you feel when you got on the show?
I thought, what am I going to wear? I bought everything new to go into the house - my mum even said I had to get new underwear. It was like going on holiday!
Was there anyone you didn't like?
No. I got on with everyone. Me and Narinder had a personality clash, that's all. Maybe we were too alike, too loud!
What was the best thing about Big Brother?
Meeting Mr Clarke, of course!
And the worst?
No chocolate, no visits to the chippy and no luxuries. Plus, no privacy!
What was your life like in Wales?
I began work in the hairdressers at 8.45am and finished at 5pm. My mum would pick me up and I would get changed in the car and teach dance from 5.30pm til 10pm! I did that six days a week!
What's it like presenting the Lorraine show on Sky One?
I wouldn't really call it presenting! I chat to Lorraine (Kelly) on Monday, Wednesday and Friday. I also have a few projects in the pipeline, so watch out!
Does being labelled a dizzy blonde annoy you?
There are all kinds of blondes - you have Marilyn Monroe, the stereotypical blonde bombshell, but then you have Helen Mirren who is a brilliant actress. I'm not that bothered, but it is annoying because believe me I can be sensible when I want to be.
What's in the future for you and Mr Paul Clarke?
I just take each day as it comes. I'm not ready for marriage and babies, but I can't imagine being with anyone except Paul!

I think that's a lovely interview she still sounds so happy.
