The undercover non-celebrity - who had been roaming around Essex as a Paris Hilton lookalike, with her hair extensions and general ditzy blondness - had the nation cringing. The papers also gave her the classy nickname "Paris Travelodge".

Her ability to remain nice, even after an onslaught of patronising comments from George Galloway and Pete Burns, gave her popularity a boost as did her ability to be pleasant and upbeat in unbearable circumstances. The blossoming romance between her and Ordinary Boys front man Preston, kept viewers intrigued, Not to mention the irony of a non-celeb winning Celeb BB, which obviously bought a smile to the viewing public.
