I was desperate to speak to someone who had nothing to do with Big Brother. I really wanted to talk with my mum.
About press intrussion...
• "Journalists are camping outside my home in Worcestershire, They're going round the pubs holding up my photo and saying do any of you know this girl? They've have given people cameras and offered them large sums of money to take pictures of my parent's house, where I still live with my brother, Joseph, who's just eight. They have found the mobile numbers of most members of my family, including my 15-year-old cousin. Some of them are getting 60 or 70 calls a day."
• "There was a girl I worked with quite briefly and they flew out to where she was on holiday to talk to her about me. They've even phoned people I was at school with and I haven't seen in years. I loved been in Big Brother but these past two weeks have been very stressful, especially for my mum."
About work offers...
• ".. modelling, TV presenting and a yoga video are all in the melting pot- but I want to get some genuine feedback from my family, from people close to me, to see what they think would suit me. I've been thrown into the public arena, so the decisions I make shouldn't be taken lightly."
About Geoff his ex-boyfriend...
• "Contrary to what the press has said, the bust-up had nothing to do with me kissing Scott. My relationship with Geoff was in a mess before I went into the house. "
• "The week before I was due to go into Big Brother house, we split up."
• "He'd just got back from five months in Biarritz and was off again for another two months in France. I'd had enough. We had this very emotional break-up- but I felt we could still be friends."
• "... He let us down, and he let himself down."
About Scott...
• "I want this to be my definitive statement on this. I realised in the house that my long, close relationship with Geoff was over and so I put up a kind of barrier to prevent what Scott and I had between us from going any further."
• "We did Big Brother's Little Brother but we didn't spend the weekend together, despite what the papers said."
About his biological father Nick Wright...
• ".. the man I thought was dead and turned out to be very alive. I never had any need to find him -I love my family and the're everything I could ever want."
• "It's a lot to take on board, as it must be for him.. to be honest, I've got too much going on at the moment to be able to deal with it."
• "That's quite daunting and I'm aprehensive about what I'll get from the meeting. I don't even know if it will be a positivie thing. I want to talk to my proper dad and to my mum about it first."
• "He left his telephone number and other contact details, with a message saying 'Whenever you're ready, I'd like to speak to you.'"
