What was the highlight of the last series?

Getting with Pete and making him my boyfriend.

What do you think was the most awkward moment of the last series?

Probably the whole Chloe L and Jake situation, which wasn't very nice for me. Also going along to parties with Courtney and Chloe M where none of the girls wanted to talk to me.

Was it difficult trying to unite the different girl groups?

It was difficult yes. The most awkward moment was walking in on the 200th episode Gatsby party. Obviously none of the girls liked my girl group, and for me it was simple - they are my best friends.

If you could hold a dinner party and invite any five cast members, past or present, who would they be and why?

Apart from Pete and the girl band members who I see all the time, I'll say Lauren Goodger because she's one of my friends and I love her. Amy Childs, Harry Derbridge, Gemma Collins and James Argent.

If you could describe your relationship with Pete in three words, what would they be?

Fiery, sexual and banter - we make fun of each other a lot.

Have you been on any double dates with Lockie and Danni?

Both Pete and I have been so busy that we haven't seen anyone. As soon as we have spare time, we're going to do it - I've spoken to Danni about it and we'll definitely do it.

What's the most exciting thing to have happened to you since the last series finished?

Probably my clothing line which has been absolutely amazing. It's gone crazy and so much has sold out. Also I moved into my own place at the end of the last series.

Is there anything you don't like about living in Essex?

Everyone knows everything about you. You go down the high street and you're bound to bump into at least four people you know. There's no privacy.

There was a lot of talk of dogs last series - what breed of dog would you be?

I would be a little poodle. I have a little poodle and she's a bit like me - she can be really cute and nice but then if I tread on her, she bites my foot. She's not to be messed with!

Which member of the TOWIE cast defines Essex like no one else?

Chloe Sims - she's just so glamorous and well known, and she's become a big part of the show.

If TOWIE was a soap opera and you were writing the next series, what would happen?

Pete and I would take over Essex!
