. . . . story from the Redditch Standard online.

FIRST task for Steph after a busy weekend was to attend a special Big Brother party in London on Monday (July 28), for the contestants, presenters and production staff who worked on the series.

Steph, 28, said: "It was really nice to meet everyone, especially all those who worked behind the scenes because we had heard their voices while we were in the house but never met them.

"It was also wonderful to meet Davina when I came out, she really was such a lovely person and so nice to talk to."

In the last seven days Steph, who lives in Winyates Green, has been interviewed on a number of radio stations including Capital FM, BRMB and Radio 1's Chris Moyles show. She has also been on Channel 4's Rise and done a photo-shoot for Closer magazine in which she was made up as pop star Pink.

"It has all been quite overwhelming and so much fun. I've been shown all of the press cuttings and the pictures of the massive banner in Redditch and I just can't believe it was all done for 'little old me'.

"I'd like to say a massive 'thank you' everyone who supported me while I was in the house," she added.

After spending time in London, Steph returned to Redditch on Tuesday (July 29).

"I needed familiarity around me which is why I couldn’t wait to come back to Redditch. My mum picked me up with Ronnie [her dog] in the car and it was so good to see him again. He was all over me and has been so clingy since.

"I'm now looking forward to spending some quality time with my family and friends."

A lot was made of Steph's relationship with Cameron while she was in the house, and after winning the competition the Scotsman told Davina he would be inviting Steph up to visit him in Orkney.

"We haven't arranged the trip yet but hopefully we'll get it organised - I'll probably go up there with Gos," said Steph.

"And after that I'm hoping Cameron will come and visit me in Redditch," she added.

Can't imagine Steph made up to look like Pink - can you?

Oh - and there's a lovely picture of Steph with her beloved Ronnie - bless.
