Controversial north Belfast model Orlaith McAllister, who sensationally quit Big Brother after surviving three eviction shows in a row, last night said she had no regrets.
Minutes before leaving on Saturday, Orlaith told Big Brother she was "110%" certain about her decision to quit. In an interview with Dermot O'Leary yesterday in the wake of her dramatic exit, the Ulster beauty said she was glad to be out of the house.
Branding her fellow housemate, Derek, a "bully", Orlaith said she had been made to feel uncomfortable by the posh Tory which had contributed to her decision to go.
"I've just been made to feel inadequate. The first couple of weeks were fantastic but I'm scared of Derek.
"He wound me up. He's very manipulative and has made me feel uncomfortable in the house for the past three weeks.
"I couldn't put myself through more stress - he's a bully and I don't do bullies."
But, despite her obvious hatred for Derek, Orlaith said she believed he will win the Big Brother competition.
"I would like to see Anthony or Craig win, but more so Craig, but I think that Derek is going to win," she said.
The wannabe Playboy model also voiced reservations about coming face to face with her family for the first time since her first appearance on the show nine weeks ago.
"I'm nervous about my dad and family and what they'll say but they'll just have to understand me," she said.
She is thought to have spent her first day of freedom catching up with members of her family who travelled to London following her departure from the Channel Four reality show.
