We hear you were chatting to Freddie last night. Have you kissed and made up?
"We haven't kissed but we have certainly made up! I said earlier that Freddie was going to be the first person I called; I wanted to clear the air with him and that's certainly happened. I didn't break his heart, that was all perspective. We had a disagreement. I love Freddie to bits, I really do, but it was a stressful situation and then he got evicted - I don't think anyone really expected him to go. Truth be told I was kind of hoping he would because it was very stressful for me. It was a selfish view to have but I was thinking "make this problem go away" and Freddie went away. He's a really good friend though and I can't wait to see him."
Any romance on the cards?
"In the future, who knows? We're both into free love!"
When you were reading the magazines Big Brother provided, Lisa said: "Bea, it's all about you!" Were you surprised by the coverage you received?
"I wasn't really all over the magazines. There wasn't much about Lisa but I don't think there was any particular gossip about me. I was shocked about what was said about Sophie. 'A gentleman never kisses and tells'? A gentleman would never give any ambiguity on a situation that is complete s**t. Sophie is in no way pregnant and, as far as I'm led to believe, has never had sex with Kris. Everyone knows where babies come from and if Kris hasn't had sex with Sophie there's no Big Brother baby. It was weird, I think everyone prepares for stuff being said against them but when you have articles out of the blue... The worst thing said about me was that I was bonkers!"
What about the other 'B' issue? You've been accused of being a bitch.
"This whole bitch issue - what a load of s**t! Doesn't everybody love someone who's honest? So many people go onto Big Brother thinking of it as a game show. People get chosen for their personalities and from the start I'm somebody who says what they think. The only stimulation you have in the house is the other housemates. I do feel I might have judged people harshly but I went on [Big Brother] wanting to be myself and I was. If people don't like that it's a shame but I'm not going to change who I am because of public opinion. I haven't seen the programme - it'll be interesting to see how it has been edited. If you've got other people who aren't willing to say what they genuinely think then someone who is will come across as quite opinionated. I'm not a bitch I just keep it real."
Is there anything you would have done differently?
"I'm not the sort of person to get hung up on regrets. Of course you can learn from your actions. I think I could do with being a bit more cautious as to getting to know people before making assumptions and building friendships. At the same time, coming in halfway through a gameshow is difficult because you want to assert yourself and become part of the house. I was conscious of being perceived as a bit of an imposter joining late so you want to throw yourelf into things."
You mentioned calling Freddie earlier. Will you keep in contact with any of the other housemates?
"I honestly think I'll keep in touch with quite a few of them. My birthday's coming up in September and pretty much everyone has said they're coming. I'm looking forward to seeing them, particularly Charlie. Rodrigo didn't say if he was coming or not! Lisa and David I've probably had the rockiest relationship with, it's been quite love and hate. They go from one extreme to the other with me. I don't know if it's me or them but I'm up for getting to know everybody. We've been through a unique experience together so let's see what happens."
Do you think Lisa had a soft spot for you?
"Over the last few weeks it's been there for everyone to see that I haven't had the best relatinship with Lisa. I think she's used to commanding quite a lot of attention and I think we've got on to a jokey way of interacting with each other that works quite well for both of us. I'm not bisexual, I'm very much into my men, but when it comes to Lisa - the more jokiness the better. She's a switched-on lady and responds well to humour so the level ground we found was taking the piss out of each other. I would be slightly surprised if she didn't fancy me."
How about Siavash?
"I reckon that Siavash has a lot of good things going for him but could probably benefit from a bit more backbone. He's a very sweet guy and I think at this stage of the game he's aware of what he's got to lose. He came in with a girlfriend and then got together with Noirin - big mistake, but we all make them. He was very into her. Now he's learning and maybe trying to be a bit cool again, but after a mistake like Noirin it might be a bit hard to live down."
Should he have got together with you instead?
"He absolutely should have got together with me instead of Noirin – one hundred percent! I know Big Brother isn't supposed to have fake romances but I think we would have made an amazing couple!"
You talked about feeling sexually frustrated. Do you think you would ever have had sex in the house?
"No. Not because I've got issues being out there in public but I think you need the right vibe to have good sex. I'm not into having bad sex, and I think if you've got any inhibitions that's going to spoil the whole vibe. I would definitely have sex on camera but not in the Big Brother house. There's nothing wrong with having sex on camera but it's a weird situation and you're very aware of being watched and judged by your fellow housemates and ultimately (whether you like it or not) you're in a little family so you don't want to be spoiling the dynamics. You don't want to be rocking the boat too much with getting your bits out!"
Who do you want to win?
"Charlie! Whatever's been said about him I think he's a really genuine guy. Obviously his mum's very unwell at the moment and he's really hoping she gets better - that's something I relate to as I'm close to my own mum. He's a really lovely guy and I'll be supporting him all the way."
Do you get why people voted you out?
"I understand but I don't agree. To understand Big Brother you have to experience it first hand. The number of people who applied to be on the show and the number of people who actually win a place on the show - you wouldn't get on if you were one-dimensional. I went on the show to have an experience and certainly wasn't looking to learn something about myself - that will come from the rest of my life. If people didn't like me that's fine. I do feel proud of myself and the way that I've behaved - I've certainly been honest. I would rather be hated for something I am than loved for something I'm not."
