Ulrika revealed that she initially said no to an appearance on Big Brother during the housemates' after-dinner speeches last night.

Following a celebratory 'last supper', each of the housemates gave a mini-speech describing their time in the house.

"This project was a cause for huge consideration and agony for me, which is why I said no initially," said Ulrika.

But she added that she is "glad I was persuaded by the producers of this show" before telling the others that she "couldn't have done it without you guys".

Coolio described the group members as "decent people" and invited them to "take a dip in my pool anytime".

"I want to thank you all for respecting me and my size," said Verne, before referring to his companions as "brothers and sisters".

Ben joked: "I hate you all and I hope you fall in a ditch."

Terry agreed with Verne's reference to the housemates as "brothers and sisters" and confessed that he "came in here to have a good laugh because I've had a rough seven or eight months".
