I've been locked away in a hotel so I haven't done anything really. I've been locked up for an exclusive with the Mirror. I did GMTV on morning with Penny Smith and also a breast cancer awareness thing. Then today (Wednesday) I did an advert for something with everybody else from the house. It was a TV advert for a paper but I can't say too much about it - just in case.

How did you find your time in a hotel after two weeks in the house?

Well at least I could have room service - I'd prefer room service anytime to the twenty one pound a week in the house. But I was locked into this exclusive and what I was really dying to do was some shopping. I'm going onto the Norwich Union boat tomorrow for the BT Global Challenge and I wanted to buy some clothes for that. I'm quite excited about that because it's a little bit like the Big Brother house only smaller. I'm going to give them some advice on what to do when it all gets on top of them - just talk to each other I think is the best thing.

We'd heard that a bra company had approached you regarding an advertising campaign?

Yeah, I was asked to do one as soon as I came out. They wanted to use the pictures I had taken before I went in and the catch line 'Everyone needs some support sometime Claire'. So I just said 'yeah'. It was just a one off.

So have there been many offers of work since you left the house?

Apparently there have been lots of things coming in but I haven't had a chance to see them yet. At the moment I'm just doing the immediate stuff. Once I've got that out of the way I'll think about the future.

What was it like when you came out of the house and saw your baby brother for the first time?

It was so amazing - I was just trying not to cry. I can't tell you what it was like.

Now that you are out of the house do you miss any of them?

I miss all of them to be honest but I miss Craig quite a lot but also Darren and Mel. The last day I was there we had a really nice chat and I liked all of them.

Who do you think will win?

You know who I want to win. I think he will win because people can see he is genuine. He doesn't have any other agenda and people can really see that. And Craig has been put up for eviction so many times now it's gone beyond just wanting him to win because they admire his honesty they also want him to win because he deserves it.

How did your boyfriend react to all the speculation about you and Craig?

Well, he wasn't over the moon but I haven't really had the chance to talk to him about it. If I spoke to you in a few weeks time I might be able to give you an update but not yet. The problem is that my boyfriend got a lot of stick from people while I was in there but I don't think its going to be a problem.

And, what about you and Craig?

There's nothing romantic between me and Craig.

How do you feel about this week's nominations?

I wasn't expecting Mel to be nominated because before I left the house it was obvious that everyone was going to vote for Craig. The three other people remaining were the ones who'd voted for him the previous week. We'd worked it out so we knew he was going to be nominated, but not Mel. We'd tried to guess who would be up with him and we figured both the girls would vote for Darren, not each other. Craig was going to vote for Anna but he must have changed his mind. I couldn't really tell you why.

What were the high and low points of your time in the house?

There were so many highs I couldn't possibly tell you all of them, I just had a really good time in there. But the worst moment was when the nomination mistake happened and everyone heard Darren's. That really wasn't in the spirit of things.

Would you go through the experience again if you had the chance?

At the drop of a hat, definitely I would do it again.

How did you feel when you got the phone call telling you that you were going into the house as a replacement?

I didn't have time to think. I'd just had a baby brother and all I had time to do was throw some things into a suitcase. It wasn't until I was at the door of the house that I really stopped and thought 'what am I doing?'

Was it difficult not talking about developments in the outside world when you were in the house?

It wasn't really that difficult. I'd been warned not to mention it and they'd been told not to ask me as well.

How have you found the press since you got out?

I think its funny. Since I've been out I've learnt not to believe everything that is written. They've talked about people who know me that I've never even heard of. And I don't drink Archer's lemonade, which somebody claimed.

Are you going to stay in touch with any of the housemates?

I'm with Tom now. We've been clothes shopping in Selfridges today. We were good friends when we were in there and we still are now. I think everyone will be friends. Pretty much everyone was fairly thoughtful in there. You read stories about yourself and you know that they are not true and I think basically we will all get on.

What, even Nick?

Well yeah the other two did try and strangle him the other day so I'm not sure about that one.

Did you learn anything about yourself while you were in the house?
