On why she walked from the house multiple times
Hang on a minute mate I'm just thinking about this I've had a few brandies... Being in the house were very tense. I don't take myself seriously and, you know, you only see an hour of what goes on. 24 hours of being in the BB house was tough at times and yeah, when I walked, I went to walk but I'm glad I didn't because you know what? I'm not a quitter.

On her reception when she left the house
Honey I didn't even hear it. I'm a bit of a pantomime act anyway. There's the GC and there's Gemma, when I'm ready there will be a TV show coming out very soon, it's all about Gemma, that is why I hid back Gemma. You know what? I didn't even hear what the crowd said, I saw my best friend there and I'm desperate to see my mum, so anything anyone said I didn't even notice. I can laugh at myself, I don't take myself too seriously.
On her own television show
I have got my own TV show coming out called The Only Way Is Gemma, so people will very much get to see Gemma. It's very exciting and I can't wait for that.
On whether being judged on the show as GC might impact her business
Not at all baby, business is booming, my website's been the best it's ever been. I'm absolutely flying and as I say, I am a business woman and I do know what I'm doing. It's all about the pound notes baby.
On whether her thinking she may be pregnant was for fun or she actually thought that
No, I've been seeing Stephen Mortimer for six months, I'm very excited to have a baby. I do believe this is my year and if I was pregnant, I would have been over the moon and it would have been Stephen's baby. Sadly I'm not pregnant but watch this space.
On whether she thinks Stephanie and Jeremy will be a couple away from Celebrity Big Brother
I do believe they'll be a couple, I am very much a believer in love and romance. After speaking to Stephanie - I don't know what you've seen on the TV - but I did understand her reasons and understood why she behaved the way she was behaving. 100% behind the girl, I believe in love and romance big time, baby.
On her feelings about missing out on the final
Babe, tomorrow morning I will be back in my shop, business as usual, wheeling and dealing, designing dresses and you know what? I was itching to get back to work. I have had an amazing time, it's been amazing and I wouldn't change anything for the world.
On where her relationship with Stephanie stands
Gemma very much forgives and forgets and she's welcome at my residence any time. I will always make her and Jeremy welcome, and hopefully I'll get an invite to the wedding!
On Stephanie attacking her business and resisting retaliation
Again, I was upset about what Stephanie said, but you know, sometimes when people say nasty things it reflects on themself. Basically, I take no notice. I know what my turnover and profit loss is babe, and I really ain't losing sleep over it.
On Gemma's comments about Stephanie being 'the famous one', not Sam Reece
Well babe listen, no-one's interested in the side salad at the end of the day. We've worked really hard to get where we've got. She is an actress and she's an amazing singer. Is anybody really interested in her boyfriend? I don't think so.
On what she's learned about herself in the house
I've learnt babe that I've gotta start taking tasks seriously in life, but I've also learnt more than ever that my qualities lie in dress designing and creativity. I'm a creative person and mentally that stimulates me. I'm just not a task player, it's not the end of the world, no-one's died, do you know what I wanna say honey? Get over it.
On if she'd invite any of the housemates to her wedding
Probably not. The only person I'd be inviting to my wedding this year is Danniella.
On if she realised housemates had a task to ruin her birthday
Of course, nothing gets past the GC honey.
On taking a trip to America with Jonathan Cheban and the Kardashians
He has invited me to go there and meet the Kardashians, so yeah I'm so much looking forward to that trip. Bring it on baby. He just said to me do you know what? Ditch the pink, ditch the glitter, the Kardashians will love you either way, it's all good. I'll be out in LA before you know it.
On the 'David is Dead' drama in the house
To be honest I thought it was hysterical, looking back, but at the time it was very serious and we was concerned. David took it in jest and me and David are gonna be hitting Taco Bell this week. He can't wait to see me, he's already called me since I've been outside the house. Me and David have got a very special bond, he's like my granddad.
On Gillian McKeith
When I saw Gillian McKeith, no offence, I thought 'oh my God, this can't be happening', but do you know what? She's alright Gillian and I will be catching up with her on the other side.
On John Partridge and if he's playing a game
Do you know what? John is probably the biggest game player in there, very self-righteous, he's bloody annoying but you know what? I'm very tolerant of people and it's no great sweat off my back honey to be honest, I wish him well and I won't be losing any sleep over him.
On her greatest and most memorable moment in the house
Hearing that my mum was walking again, I will never forget that until the day I die... and Tony the Pony! Tony the Pony should definitely win, Tony the Pony's coming to my new house!
On if she regrets how she treated the in-house hairdresser
I will always say. I'm a very creative, assertive person and if I do a job, I do it to the best of my ability. I don't half-heartedly design a dress so when someone picks up my hair, don't do it half-heartedly, put your heart, your soul, your body into it. Because I give so much and I work so hard, I do expect that from other people.
On whether she'll watch her time back in the house
Oh babe no, I'm gonna be in LA with Jonathan Cheban babe, there's no time for watching Big Brother back, but it has been an amazing show, I've loved every minute of it. I'll probably go on holiday to see Jonathan and then when I come back I'll probably sit down and watch it all back. I've got nothing bad to say about Big Brother, it has been a truly amazing experience. I'm very grateful for the opportunity that they gave me and I would never, ever turn back time. I've loved every minute of it.
