m her on and d her of e Jamie says. “I as very bout me appearing almost every day. I went to Dubai with my friend just to get away from it all. “I don’t regret doing the show, because I had such a laugh in there. “I just think it would have been better if things had gone a bit differently. “I am not in touch with Jamie. We bumped into each other at a party and he has messaged me saying, ‘I hope there are no hard feelings’ but that is it.” The daughter of football legend Gazza also reckons one of the hardest things about being in the house is the boredom. She says: “There’s a lot of downtime in there. You see 45 minutes a night on TV but that’s all the juicy bits. There’s a lot of time to yourself where you’re thinking. So if you’re the sort of person who over-analyses stuff it can be quite difficult because you will just sit there thinking all day about how things are going.
“Things you would not normally get annoyed about – like someone taking the last tea bag – becomes a big issue.
“But when you’re in there, that’s your world. One day seems to last as long as four days.
“We made games up, like knocking things over with oranges. We sung a lot too but got told off for that.
“Big Brother told us we couldn’t sing as they can’t use that material for copyright reasons.”
That boredom meant Bianca and her fellow housemates – who included TV cleaner Kim Woodburn, model Nicola McLean and eventual winner Coleen Nolan – just looked forward to the alcohol arriving.
Bianca says: “Because it’s quite stressful, that’s your release. They lock the door when they put the alcohol in the room and the light is red. When it goes green, everyone is like: ‘Run!’
“It was good when the booze arrived because it gave us something to do.”
Hooked
Like the rest of the nation, the strip club boss was also hooked on ITV2 hit Love Island before it ended last week.
Bianca actually won the second series of the original Love Island show back in 2006, which also starred Calum Best, Sophie Anderton, dancer Brendan Cole and Big Bro babe Kate Lawler. So if show bosses decide to do a celebrity version of this revamped version, Bianca is Pictures: Styling: Hair and make-up: definitely up for it. “If they asked me, I would go on it for sure,” she says. “That was pretty much the best time of my life. I was only 18 and we were in Fiji for eight weeks – it was all a new experience and I really loved it.”
Bianca has a string of projects on the go, which means currently she doesn’t have time for love.
Instead, she is trying to concentrate on fighting Kate Price in their charity boxing match later this year.
“I’m running the club so I’m busy with work,” she says. “I also have an eyelash range and clothing line coming out.
“And I’m training for my fight with Kate Price in October.
“I am going to Cyprus on holiday and then when I get back, I’ve got 10 weeks of no booze and training hard.
“I’m taking it seriously and the organiser says Kate is really up for it, too.”
