Vanessa has told Davina that she is proud of herself for lasting six days in the house.

Earlier on, the 48-year-old broadcaster became the fifth person to be evicted from the Ultimate Big Brother house.

Davina began her exit interview by congratulating her. "Vanessa, I just wanted to say well done, you lasted six days!"

"Thank you," she replied. "It was a really big thing. I mean, last time I just made three nights and four days and I cracked up, and I was in a right old state and I wanted to get a bit beyond that and I have. For me it's a personal best and I'm really, really delighted."

Davina asked what made a difference this time around.

"The difference I think was, first of all a house full of really lovely people. Secondly, I think I'm at a much better place in my life. I just felt better about myself really, I think that's what it was."

What to Read Next

"You got nominated this week, which was a shame," said Davina. "One of the nominations that I was surprised wasn't there was Ulrika. You guys did have playful sort of banter and I was never quite sure whether it was real or not."

"I think we were probably a little bit wary of each other at first, but actually, and I hope she'll say the same thing on Friday, I think we got on incredibly well. And really we liked each other - we jogged along very well with each other. She's alright, she's okay, she's absolutely alright," said Vanessa.

"I suppose just like everybody else, I've read all the tabloid papers. I had a view of her and actually she's a thoroughly nice woman, she's great company, she's very game, she's a great laugh. I've got nothing bad to say about her at all."

Davina then asked if she thought Chantelle was coping in the house.

"She's having a very, very difficult time indeed," said Vanessa. "She's forced 24 hours a day to be in terribly close proximity to her ex-husband and it's quite clear that she has feelings for him. I think that [Preston] likes her very much, he certainly looks out for her. But I don't think he's in love with her and I don't think he's interested in rekindling. I think she's having it much, much tougher than everybody else."

The interview was then interrupted by a member of the audience jumping over the barriers and swiftly being carried off by security.

"It's a crazed fan making a break to give you a hug!" joked Davina.

When asked about her thoughts on Nikki, Vanessa said: "Oh I love Nikki. She's a darling. She reminds me of my younger daughter. She's got all that hair and all that temperament. I could just scoop her up and cuddle her, I just love her."

"Who do you want to win?" asked Davina.

"I think I'd like Brian to win because I think he's one of the nicest people I've ever met,” replied Vanessa.
