"Whatever's coming out of my mouth right now is probably all rubbish."

She said: "I would love Foggy to win, he's older. Jake's got time to have a massive career and he will. So it's Foggy for me."
The 44-year-old mum-of-two revealed she was disappointed to not make the final two herself.
However, she added that she had a great time down under.
She said: "I've got to be honest I'm a bit gutted I'm not in the final. But I've had a ball babes."
When asked what she thought of her time in the jungle, she said she thought it was going to be "hellish".
She added: "It was better than expected. I made some nice friends and I did have a laugh. It exceeded all expectations."
