Highlights of Amy's interview with Dermot O'Leary:

On whether she thought she could win: "No, not particularly. I have got into any fights as such but I wouldn't say I'd be one of the favourite housemates."

Asked if she was surprised how well she got on with everyone, she replied: "Yeah I was. I came and thought 'it's going to be three weeks of hell' but I got here and thought 'I'll sit tight and it'll be fine'. But I really liked everyone. I was waiting for things to start niggling me but it never really happened."

On whether she fancied Jeremy: "No, he reminds of friends at home so I get on really well with him."

On how she enjoyed her time in the house: "I was expecting it to be really hellish and I was cynical all the way through and nervous. I didn't trust anything, You never know what's going to happen, trust no one!"

Asked whether she got anything out of the experience for her art, she replied: "I didn't get any work done because it's not a place I can do that, but I feel it has given me an experience to draw upon."

On why the house was still so dirty, despite her cleaning obsession: "One girl can only do so much cleaning when there are 12 slobs living in the house!"
