She added: "So I was never going to get the most votes. You know, even if you're just looking at something like Instagram, I always have the least amount of followers.
"If I go by something like that. I'm not going to get all the votes.
"So for me, all I could have done in the jungle was do my best and hope that people liked me and hoped that people voted for me.
“But people aren't voting for me to leave. They're voting for who their favourites are and if I'm not their favourite there's nothing I can do about that. I just have to be true to me.
“Be authentic and just enjoy the experience and when my time comes, my time comes wherever it is. "
