She said through tears: “I’m devastated but someone has to go right. You have just got to be prepared for if it’s you but it’s the best experience I’ve ever had, I didn’t want to leave.”
Elaborating on her experience, she said: “I never really knew what to expect so just go in there and enjoy every single moment of it. I love them, I miss them already.
“I feel like I’ve never not enjoyed a single moment of it, even the god damn rice and beans.
She continued: “I kind of had a feeling it was going to be me, I’m slightly superstitious.
“I will never, ever forget this experience. I know a lot of people might see on TV and think they’ll be friends for like a week but I know I could pick up the phone to any of them and they would answer.
“I just feel, I hope that our friendships and love is genuine and you see that on the TV.”
Her exit came after a clip from their last night saw everyone sharing their feelings for one another.
