[Stacey.]

What a lovely guy. Everyone actually got him so wrong.

You got a reputation as the biggest stirrer and bitch in the house. Do you think that's fair?
"Bitch, yes. Stirrer, not so much. But I can completely see why people would think that from what they have seen. I can't blame anyone but myself for that. I don't like it. And I don't think it's a complete true representation of me. But that is what was shown. But I can't blame anyone else for that other than me."

Are you proud to be a bit of a bitch then?
"I don't think it is anything someone should be proud of. But it is just one of those things where with me in particular, I do say things as I see them, and they do come across as bitchy. Probably because they are bitchy. It's not because I enjoy being mean about people or upsetting someone. I just tend to say things without always thinking?"

What were you thinking then when you were going around from group to group?
"To be honest, when you are in there, I never thought for one point that I was going behind someone or against someone. Apart from maybe the last weekend where it kicked off, regarding Ben and stuff. I knew I shouldn't have done that. But it wasn't a case of I shouldn't do this, or do that. I think that was my biggest problem. I thought I could do anything and that's what got me in trouble."

You got quite worried in the house about the reaction you would get from friends and family. How much of a concern was that?
"I was very worried about some of the people at home. I wouldn't want anyone to hate me, but the biggest worry was obviously the people I already know and am close to. I have already spoken to the majority of them and I'm fine on that front, but I am still a bit disappointed in what happened last night. Not because I think it was unjustified with boos and stuff, but just the fact that people saw me in that light. I think there is a lot more to me than that. I think people just saw the naughty side of me."

What were you worried about with your family? Was it the fact you had admitted that you were bi-curious?
"Yes it was that. Especially with some of my friends who I have had from a young age. I have spoken to them now, but I was previously concerned that they would want nothing to do with me. I know people say you should only care about those who care about you, but that's easier said than done. You can't help who you love and it really hurts if they don't love you back."

So do you have some friends who are homophobic then?
"Oh yes, definitely. A couple."

Have they accepted the fact that you are bisexual then?
"Well, I suppose so. From the fact that we have spoken and everything is cool. So, I suppose so."

Were any family members unaware of your sexuality?
"Some of them I have given them a talk about it, but there were some who I was just too worried to approach about it. But by the time I met them all last night, they had all had a kind of mock-up press conference, where they had all discussed it. So when I met them all it was the last thing on my mind. They don't care."

So in that sense do you think Big Brother has been good for you by allowing you to be yourself more?
"In one respect, yes. It has helped me with that. In another respect it has done me, but I suppose it has helped. I have to admit that."

Did you want to go on the show to come out?
"No. But it's one of those things. Rather than having to make a statement to a few people, they can see me and that will be that. I suppose it is a bit cowardly, but that is the way I feel."

How far have you gone with a man? It is listed on your housemate profile that you have slept with 0.5 men in your life?
"Put it this way. I told them in the auditions that I have had a drunken dabble. At the time, it made me think that it wasn't for me. So, I'm all over the shop to be honest with you. I have not had sex, but I have had experiences with men in the past."

Was there anyone in the house you were attracted to?
"I thought Caoimhe was very, very, very attractive. Rachael was gorgeous. And if I was talking about good-looking people then John James was good-looking. And Ife was quite nice when she kept one look. She could look very different from day-to-day."

Do you think John James was the most attractive man then?
"Yep. If you are angling at who Govan liked out of the men in the house, then I'm going to disappoint. John James and Nathan were good-looking guys, but they were not the sort of men I would go for. They are good-looking chaps though."

After your bad reception on Friday night are you worried about how you may be received in the streets now?
"Do you know what? If people come up to you in the streets and say bad things, I don't really care. That's just their opinion. There's disliking someone and then there is behaving like a pig. And if someone did that to me in the streets, I would give them what for. Although that is not my biggest worry, it does scare me a little bit."

Were you disappointed to leave the house with boos then?
"Yes, I was. Because I think I have been spun a certain way. Not that I am being arrogant, but I think the majority of the housemates loved me. I'm not being silly and I can admit that I have done things that are offensive and naughty. But I tried to show people respect in that house and get on with people as best as I could. I think that's why a lot of people in the house were shocked to see me go. People inside see it for what it really is, while some viewers will only see edited highlights and the Big Brother perspective."
