Nadia has told Davina that she thinks she was evicted because she is "not the same person" as she was when she won Big Brother 5.

In an emotional post-eviction interview, the 33-year-old said that her second Big Brother experience had been "the toughest week of [her] life".

As Davina sat with Nadia on stage, she said: "I know, this is really hard. Why do you think you're sat here?" Nadia replied: "I think I'm old and bitter and fat. I'm too 'old lady' now."

After seeing her nominations, Nadia commented: "I think they're quite fair." Despite laughing through much of her 'best bits' video, Nadia was clearly upset, as Davina said: "I know, you're crying aren't you?"

Nadia replied: "At the end of the day, I'm not the same person as I was six years ago. I've been through a lot in my life, and maybe that hasn't made me as happy and nice a person as I'd hoped."

Of her opinions on BB11 winner Josie's relationship with fellow housemate John James, Nadia told the crowd: "I'm sorry, but I just don't think they're genuine." A chorus of boos and shouts erupted, prompting Davina to tell the audience: "Guys, we've got to let someone have their opinion, even if it's different to ours."

Returning to her time in the house, Davina said: "I felt like you lost it a bit in there." Nadia agreed, saying: "I just didn't feel comfortable in there." She added: "I don't think I could do the ten weeks I did first time round."

Davina then asked Nadia about her former housemates, and the impact that Victor and Michelle's entrance had. "It was so refreshing to have them," she replied. "I'm so glad they're in there."

Speaking about the prospect of a romance between Chantelle and Preston, Nadia said: "Preston has moved on, but Chantelle needs to find closure." Davina asked: "What about you? We need to get you a bloke." Nadia laughed, saying: "No, I'm too grumpy these days!"

The former Big Brother winner was shown a number of messages from housemates, as Brian and Ulrika thanked her for their time together in the house. Nikki told Nadia: "I just think you're hilarious and I'd really, really like to hang out with you outside the house."

Wrapping up the interview, Davina hugged Nadia and said: "I think you need to go around the corner and have a really big cry." Wiping tears away, Nadia replied: "I'm just a little bit emotional.

"It's been the toughest week of my life."
