Bea: "I didn't use Freddie"

Bea has insisted that she didn't use Freddie as part of an overarching game plan.

Shortly after her eviction, Bea answered a number of viewers' questions about her time in the house.

One Twitter user asked whether she decided "to use" Freddie after watching him from the outside world and noticing his popularity.

A visibly shaken Bea replied: "I didn't use Freddie.

"Of course I saw Freddie before entering and saw he was the favourite. I anticipated I would get on with him very well, but I certainly didn't use him."

A thoughtful and stern Bea then argued that what happened between the pair was simply natural.

"As happens in the real world, the things that first attracted you to somebody start driving you crazy."

Further questioning probed her true romantic feelings towards Freddie, with Bea saying that while she didn't immediately find him physically attractive, their emotional connection did start to sway her thoughts towards the possibility of a relationship.
