Alex: "I'm more hotheaded than I thought"

Alexandra defended her behaviour in the house in a chat with Davina this evening.

The interview, which was left unedited, had been recorded earlier in the day.

The highlights of Alexandra's interview:

On seeing clips of her arguments in the house: "I think it's the perfect epitome of editing. I'm never going to use the 'edited badly' card, because if I never said that you couldn't put it on TV, but people fail to realise this is a whole day's experience... That was three conversations in one on yesterday's show condensed into three minutes, and only what I had said was shown, not what Darnell said about Tottenham."

On her housemates' concerns about her behaviour: "I lived in the house with them and didn't feel people were threatened by me or uncomfortable. It was never like I was bullying these people. When I had points to put across I put them across. Admittedly, I could have perhaps put them across better."

On saying "I like to be a threat": "Dennis brought it up. He said: 'Don't you think you're threatening?' I said I like to be a threat... Not threatening, a threat. There's a difference between the two."

On the chips argument: "The chips were disgusting!.. Yeah she wanted to practice making chips, but there weren't enough to do that in there."

On upsetting her friends in the house: "What's being bypassed is that if someone is upset I'm the first to console them, I don't think that side of me was focused on... You say I was aggressive, I say assertive. Some people say bully, I say bossy."

On her life before the house: "I'm not going to play the 'I've had a hard life' card. Everyone has. But it's natural for me to defend myself. I'm sensitive about me."

On what she has learned: "I've learned I'm more hotheaded than I thought. And I've never underestimated myself, but I've learned sometimes you can say your point without going at that point really, really hard."
