She said: "Thank you guys, all thanks to you. Your votes. Each of the judges. Thank you so much for the opportunity. Thanks Mark for becoming my new best friend."

She told 'Entertainment Tonight': "I think I've just learned so much, that, I don't even know. This is ... I don't think that this has hit yet."

"I've had such a wonderful time and this is absolutely the cherry on the cake."
