Emilia has admitted she was very proud of herself for getting into the final two on Big Brother: Celebrity Hijack.

The roller-skating contortionist, 18, survived three evictions to come second to John on the E4 show - and she said it had changed her life.

She told presenter Dermot O'Leary: "This feels amazing because I'm so proud of myself. I had a lot of pain before coming here and now I feel I'm ready to work again."

But she said she had found it difficult to get used to living in the house. "I'm so used to having everything perfect and my way. I was having a hard time in the beginning and I just had to adapt."

Emilia said she was glad to have shared the experience with her brother Victor, despite the verbal abuse he sometimes gave her.

"It was hard but I'm so happy we went through it together. It was lovely to have him here. I didn't feel like I don't have freedom when he's here."

And she said there was no hope for her relationship with racing driver Jeremy.

"I love him as a person but I have a boyfriend."

Emilia entered the house with her brother Victor, while Matt Lucas was telling John to apologise after all the housemates hid before they came in.

She flirted with all the boys but mostly Jeremy, who she admitted was her favourite housemate besides her brother.

She also hit it off with the male hijackers - Chris Moyles made her the barwoman in his pub quiz task, after he asked for the dumbest housemate to go to the diary room.

She played Hollywood icon Nancy Norma in the method acting task from actor Alan Cumming - which meant she had to flirt with Jeremy's character Alabama boy Norman Plank, even stirring his tea with her finger.

Russell Brand "dumped Amy" for Emilia after she did some acrobatics for him in the diary room in just her bikini.

But she got lots of stick from her brother Victor, who made her cook food for him - and he was told off for his bossiness by Jay, Kelly Osbourne and even Brian Sewell.

Although, when Victor was booted out she said it felt like a piece of her was missing

When Big Mouth hosts James Corden and Matthew Horne took over the house, Emilia shocked everyone by revealing she blamed Latoya for Victor getting evicted.

Melanie Blatt and Nicole Appleton took over the house the night after Jeremy and Emilia had an argument. They got Emilia to let off steam by screaming loudly.

When Kate Lawler got housemates to impersonate each other, Emilia was upset by John's constant leg lifting, saying: "He made me out to be vulgar, and I'm not. He used my talent against me."
