BB's Rachel: People didn't like my voice!
Big Brother 11's newest evictee Rachel Ifon has admitted that her voice and her constant talking probably led to her getting the boot from the house. The Scouse flight attendant, who was ejected from the house on Friday ahead of John James and Dave, told Davina McCall that her endless chatter was due to her excitement at being in the house. "I think quite a few of them nominated me because I've got quite a mouth on me," she said before it was revealed that Andrew, Corin, JJ and John James all voted for her. I just like to have a banter with people and then people throw stuff at me," she added. "I thought 'I'm in Big Brother - Woo!' I was like, 'I don’t want to go to sleep, I don't want to miss a single second of it'" Rachel also admitted that she had been fond of Ben - who admitted to fancying her after he left the house last week. "I think it was because he was dead charming," she said. "I had a cold sore on the entry night and he just came up to me and said 'you look lovely darling' and I liked him." And when asked if she wished she had been bolder in the house, Rachel said, "I could only be myself. When I walked out I wanted to be myself and be me, not be fake."
