Dale: 'Jen has been on my mind'

Dale shared an embrace with Jen tonight as Davina reunited the pair during his post-eviction interview.

Jen ran on stage at the end of his chat after he became the eighth evictee of the series, leaving the house with 63% of the public vote.

Dale said she had "been on [his] mind" in the five weeks since he had seen her, telling Davina that he would like to "hug" the ex-housemate rather that "nail" her, as his VT suggested. He agreed to invite the presenter to their wedding.

The rest of the interview highlights:

On his VT: "Oh God, I’m 'Dale the Nail'! I don’t know why I said it. I’m scared of moths and ladybirds - I’m not the type of person to say it... It was like eight months ago... I can’t believe I said the ‘f’ word - maybe if I’d said girl?!"

On being told that he was a "potential winner": "It’s nice to know that people have nice things to say about you in the house. The experience was something I’ll never forget, but I missed people so much. But it’s done now, you voted me out, so thanks, guys!"

On his determination to be nominated: "I didn’t want to get in the final and not have been up, [for the] public to see me on the TV and say: 'I can’t wait till he goes.' It worked I suppose - here I am!"

On Nicole: "I just call her Rex’s girlfriend. It’ll be nice to wake up without those two stuck near the divide, just holding hands over the divide... [That] will be the downfall of Rex."

On Darnell and Sara: "I think she thinks they’re just mates."

On Lisa: "She’s a lovely woman, she’s so, so dizzy... She said she goes out in Manchester a lot and said: 'I’m single', and I said: 'Are you after a date or something? I hardly know ya!'"
