Hello

I've noticed over the last week or so that a number of old articles about Helen have been posted on the forum. I wondered if you would be interested in reading a transcript of a radio interview she gave last year on the Heart 106.2 Breakfast show on January 10th. Helen was a guest on the show throughout the morning and was interviewed four times. This is the first part of the interview, I hope you enjoy it. I will post the other parts in the next few days.

Part one

David Preevers: Erica North is with me and from Big Brother 2 the lovely charming Helen Adams. Hello.

Helen: Hello

Erica North: Looking very good for this time of the morning. I'm very impressed.

H: Well I'm used to getting up quite anyway so it's OK

DP: Why do you get up so early then?

H: This is great. Well I'm on the Sky One show with Lorraine. So you,ve got to get up quite early for that, see?

DP: Oh forgot you do that of course

H: Yes Loads of people don't see it. Loads of people go: I haven't got Sky One

DP: Now are you loving every second of your life now or did you prefer it the way it was before?

H: Erm, oh that's a difficult question. erm sometimes I do and sometimes I wish I was back in Wales and nobody knew me.

EN: Really?

DP: Oh you don't really. Why?

H: Oh well it's not all glitz and glam really

EN: Tell us what's not glitz ang glam then. tell us what's wrong with it.

H: Reading stuff about yourself in the papers thats not true. everybody sort of like knowing you and it's like sometimes it's really nice but sometimes it can get a little bit too much, you know?

DP: If you could wave a magic wand and go back to the way it was before, would you? If we gave you the chance if I handed you the wand now and you could go back...

H: yeah but if I could go back there I wouldn't know Mr Clarke, would I? you know.

EN: Ahh , so it's still a big love thing then?

H: It is a big love thing,yeah

DP: How hard was it for you to get it together in those first days after Big Brother. Talk about a relationship under the spotlight. It's ridiculous.

H: Well those first days after Big Brother I didn't even have a mobile phone, so I couldn't even ring Paul. I was like erm I haven't got a phone what am I going to do? Mum can you go out and get me a phone. I was like that. My other phone wasn' t working so it was very difficult in those first days, yeah. Solid as a rock, we are, me and Mr Clarke are.

DP: Is stuff happening on a regular basis , generally speaking?

H Well, do you do stuff?

DP: Not as much I'd like to be honest. Alright then I haven't done stuff for ages. It's quite sad really. Which is why we quite nosey about your stuff

EN: She's not saying anything

H: I'm not saying anthing

DP: Who do you still see . Do you see any of the guys? Because you were hanging out with Narinder for a while, weren't you?

H: Me?! Are you having a laugh? No I'd say Narinder's permanently attached to Brian at the moment.

DP They're saying that Big Brother is going to come back again. Dou think it will be as good this time around? It's hard isn't it?

H: I'm sure it will be good because everybody's interested in everyone else lives aren't they? We're all nosey at the end of the day, aren't we?

DP: We're all nosey so I'm sure it will probably be good

Now we've got a few questions for you here.

H: OK I hope they're not very difficult

DP: No they should be easy for you because Mr Clarke came in to see us.

H: Did he?

DP: and we asked him loads of questions about himself and we,ve got the answers here.

EN: It's kind of a Mr and Mrs style quiz to see if you know the answers

H: This is cool. I like this game

DP: Well you won't if you get this wrong.

DP: What is Paul Clarke's date of birth?

H: It's 19th April

DP: Let's hear if you're right

H: I'm right

Paul(on tape): 19th of the 4th 76

H: yeah! Mr Clarke's voice here.

DP: Calm down. Alrght I'm going to ask you one more now

H: OK

DP:What are Paul's parent's names, his Mum and Dad's names?

H: They're called Jenny Clarke and Kenneth Clarke

EN: Kenneth Clarke, really?

H: Kenneth or Kenny

DP: So you've got Jenny and Kenny?

H: Jenny and Kenny

DP: Let's see if you're right

PC: My mum's name is Jenny and my dad's name is Kenny

H: Yeah OK
