Renee has proven to be brazen but hiding a heart of gold as she took several of the younger stars under her wing during her time in the house.

She even appeared to take a shine to Bear at the beginning, leading to some viewers thinking that she was hitting on him after a boozy night, but that soon gave way to pure hatred that has lasted the rest of the series.

On the up-down relationship with the volatile housemate, she joked: "Well it isn't 12 yet...I'm going to keep it positive and say nothing will go wrong tonight!"

She admitted: "He had great leg, beautiful blue eyes.. but my type is taller and darker. Not Bear!"Renee became dependant on her close bond with Aubrey, but also showed off her motherly nature with several words of advice to Geordie Shore babe Marnie Simpson when it came to affairs of the heart - and the bedroom.

On her relationship with Danity Kane singer, who placed fifth, she said: "If it wasn't for Aubrey, I wouldn't have made it."

She added: "Frankie was entertaining to everyone - and I applaud it."

"Marnie is just a ball. She is such a firecracker."

However, she came under fire for her views on bisexuality which she shared with Christopher Biggins, insisting that they had to "pick a team".

Biggins was later shockingly removed from the house for other comments he made, including that bisexuals were to blame for AIDS.

On the final two she said: "When good vs. evil - I would rather see good win!" - referring to housemate Ricky.
