Before leaving, she hugged Jonsson and said: "Oh, I'm so glad; I told you I was going to go - I'm made up." | |
Malone said she was "incredibly relieved" that she was out and admitted she was fond of using strong language - something she gained a reputation for in the house. | |
She said she had toned down her personality for the show but added: "I use expletives not because I have a lack of vocabulary but because I am very passionate. I actually like them." | |
She said her experience had taught her how spoilt celebrities are and to be a more tolerant person. | |
She had been nominated by Heaton, former A1 singer Ben Adams, and Austin Powers star Verne Troyer. | |
Heaton said she felt "intimidated" by the outspoken actress and accused her of creating a bad atmosphere in the house, while Troyer said she was "full of herself". | |

Adams said: "Unless you shout above Tina you never really get your point across. There is no room for anybody else's opinion. She comes across as a bit aggressive." | |
