‘They (the production) were in suspense with those two great personalities. “There is a lot of pressure on the current new season to not generate negative headlines like past series,” a source told Woman’s Day.
“Oh, it was more than I expected,” she admitted, adding that there was nothing “bitter” about her departure despite having entered the camp as an intruder last week.
‘Can I say it’s not so bitter?! It is sweet! I’m sorry, I have to be… I have to be completely honest!’
She continued: ‘There’s shit in there! It’s shit, it’s amazing! The dunnies, the land! Now I am a clean person: there is dirt on dirt on dirt on dirt.’
