Big Brother reject Calista has admitted she was scared she would be made to look like a "bunny boiler" outside the house, because of her intense relationship with Anthony.
In her exit interview with Dermot O'Leary, the 19-year-old classical musician also revealed that her time in the house had made her realise she didn't want to be with her boyfriend, despite their plans to marry.
After watching a montage of her most intimate moments with Anthony, she said: "I'm so embarrassed because it's making me look like a right bunny boiler."
But when Dermot reassured her no-one thought of her as a scary girl, she said: "I genuinely thought it would show me like 'Anthony, Anthony'... but it's alright."
When quizzed about her thoughts on her boyfriend, she told Dermot: "I just had time to think without him there and realised it wasn't him... Who can blame me? [Anthony's] a sexy boxer."
And she admitted he had got scared about her feelings for him, saying: "He took it like 'oh dear, she's falling in love with me'. He's definitely an intense guy."
Calista was the sixth housemate to be evicted from the show, in a double eviction with her close friend Jay.
"I can't believe I got that far. I was one of those people who went round the house and didn't do anything," she explained.
But she did manage to write some songs in the house - "I'm always writing songs" - and made a firm bond with fashion designer Jay - "He's amazing, I love Jay so much".
As a parting shot before her interview ended, Calista was allowed to choose whether the purple ninja should throw a custard pie at the housemates. She did - and he did - although he missed his target Anthony and managed to cover Jeremy in gunge instead.
Calista was only the second person to enter the Big Brother: Celebrity Hijack house - where she was greeted by politician John who was forced to lie to her by hijacker Matt Lucas.
She really got into all the tasks, from playing a mad German scientist in Alan Cumming's acting task to being the leader of the "New Rave" group in Fifi and Peaches Geldof's battle of the bands.
Calista and Anthony openly got very cosy during her three weeks in the house, spending nights together in the same bed and cuddling in the hot tub.
When musical star Denise Van Outen hijacked the house, Jay and Calista were made to sing everything they wanted to say.
Calista sang to Anthony: "Did you want me to stay in bed?" A taken-a-back Anthony replied: "It's fine it's cool". Calista continued: "Tonight I'm going to ask Jay to swap, swap, swap... and we can giggle like Emilia and Jeremy."
She might not have won over the viewers, but she obviously impressed Denise, who rewarded her and John with a pampering hamper for being the most entertaining housemates.
