Emily also said why she always thought she would bomb on reality TV.

Revealing that Love Island producers previously approached her, she told GB News: “When I first got the call I was excited! I was thinking about the designer handbags I could buy if I made it through the show and become this big reality TV star.

“But as it kind of went on, reality kind of struck and I thought about how I would be characterised on this TV show, and I think I would’ve been the sore thumb and the token Tory.

Revealing that she knew she would not go down well with viewers, she said: “I think they (Love Island producers) wanted something different but I think they wanted to use that as a storyline and I think the trolls would’ve loved it.

“I think the people who already hate me, that would give them another reason to hate me.”

Emily, Sam and Caroline had the least votes, and last night viewers watched them fight for their place and a chance to win the £100,000 prize.

Sam later shed a tear in the Diary Room, telling Big Brother: “I feel like it’s so overwhelming and I just got here.”
