The sportswoman said she was gutted that she hadn't been challenged more and said: "I would have loved to have done more trials.
"Don't get me wrong, the trials that I did I was so happy to do them with the girls and obviously Shane and also the Castle Coin Challenge.
"But I would loved to have gone out there so people could get to know me more and see my determination and see my personality come out a bit more.
"I am a bit sad I didn't get do more but I am still amazed and fascinated with the way that I handled my trials.
"I could've been a lot worse handling the bugs, critters and offal! It was horrible but I absolutely loved every minute of it."

Talking about any friction between Shane and AJ, she said: "I don't think I saw any tensions and I'm looking forward to watching this back.
"Generally, everybody got on so well, everyone was respectful and helpful, they chipped in.
"I didn't feel like there was any major weird vibes. Of course there's always going to be some sort of tension but I never really felt that.
"I was in that castle 24 hours a day and all I can say is these guys love each other. If there is a tiny bit of tension, it's normal.
