The evicted housemate's fellow contestant Mohamed had speculated that she was a transsexual in the early weeks of the programme. Her muscular physique has also made her the target of jokes in the press.
Speaking after being voted out on Friday night, Lisa confirmed: "The transsexual comments are no problem. I decided when I was 21 to take up bodybuilding. I saw a woman in a magazine and she was huge with muscles and I thought, 'I fancy doing that'. I've always been athletic, so I just took it one step further and built my body up.
"Whereas a lot of women want to be super-slim, I wanted to sculpture my body. Eventually after a few years, I pumped up and began to look a bit more like Rambo than 'Lovely Lisa'. It's been said a few times to me, because of my physique, 'Are you a man or a woman?' I'm a lady with man's muscles."
She added: "I'm accustom to those comments and it doesn't bother me."
Lisa was booted out with 52.6% of the public vote on Friday after being nominated alongside Sara.
