Patsy Palmer refused to answer questions about Mickey Rourke after being evicted from the Celebrity Big Brother house.
The EastEnders star was the last of three housemates to be interviewed in a triple eviction from the ITV reality series on Tuesday, 22 April and host Will Best told her she had a "very different energy" to some of the other housemates.
Palmer was evicted along with TV presenter Angellica Bell and The Only Way Is Essex star Ella Rae Wise, and was quizzed about the friction between her and some of the other housemates, including her clash with Hollywood star Rourke over her cooking.
Five housemates faced eviction following face-to-face evictions. They were former CBBC presenter and Celebrity MasterChef winner Angellica Bell, former Love Island contestant Chris Hughes, Drag Race UK winner Danny Beard, former The Only Way Is Essex star Ella Rae Wise and EastEnders star Patsy Palmer were all nominated for the triple eviction.
Bell was first to be evicted from the house, and told her housemates, "I knew it. I told you." When hosts AJ Odudu and Will Best revealed to her she was the first of three to leave the house that evening Bell looked delighted at the twist. Wise was the second evictee, followed by Palmer.
Palmer said of being evicted so close to the final: "I am celebrating. To be part of history, I think this is the first time they've ever had a triple, so my lucky number is three."
Quizzing her about some of the friction with the housemates Odudu asked Palmer: "Did it really upset you when Mickey did complain to your face about the food?" Palmer said after a long pause: "Not really that." There was another long pause and Odudu said: "Well, let's move on."
Asked about US popstar JoJo Siwa's claims she brought the mood down, Palmer said: "Well, the person that said I was bringing the mood down, literally, I don't know, I must be a magician to bring that mood down. Because you have never known anyone so with so much energy, in beautiful energy, but energy in your whole life. So I was amazed that she thought I had that much power."
Best then told her: "I mean it's interesting that you talk about energy, because I've never met you before, this is the first time we've properly spoken, and you do have a very calm energy, even now, you know. And I guess that is, like you say, very different to some of the other characters in the house."
Palmer said: "Yeah, and that's what makes it brilliant, you know, and that's why we all, it's a great experiment, you know, mixing a lot of people together that are all very different, different ages, different backgrounds, different beliefs, different everything, it just shows that that's what we need right now, you know, in the world is that we can all live together despite our differences." This speech won cheers from the crowd.
Odudu asked her: "You did say inside that you were struggling in there because you were missing your family, but was that the only reason?" Palmer said dismissively: "Yeah, that's it, that's it," before another awkward pause.
Asked about her clash with Bell, Palmer said: "I think that we're very similar in many ways we've worked a long time in the industry. We both struggled a bit with the, we both were quite private people, really, even though we're on telly all the time.
"I think we were both a little bit shell shocked, like 120 cameras, like every day or whatever, you know, it's kind of really daunting. I think that we - I thought she was snapping at me, she thought I was snapping at her. So it's just friends, isn't it?"
Bell said she hoped to get on better with Palmer. In her exit interview she said: "She always treated me like a child, not in a bad way, but she wanted to look after me. I put on myself, but she actually wants to look after whereas I wanted to help as well. And so there was that instant where I said, 'Can I help?' And she was like, 'I don't care.' And that made me feel..."
The 49-year-old TV presenter said after leaving: "I was surprised Big Brother even knew who I was. To get a place in Celebrity Big Brother was amazing. And the thing is, I'm very pragmatic and I get it, because I was like, Big Bro, I'm leaving. I knew it. There's some big names and there are big characters who've got huge platforms, who are talented, who are great. Everyone is wonderful. So I am just happy to be here. I did not think I would even last this long. So babes, in my eyes, I've won this show, let's go home."
Asked where being on Big Brother came in her 25 year career Bell broke down in tears and struggled to speak, uttering: "Now I'm gonna get emotional."
Ella Rae Wise was second to be evicted. She said she felt "really happy to be out in the open and back to reality." Referring to some of the tasks she said: "Look, listen, I'm an Essex girl. I don't really wanna be dressed up as a fluffy cat. I'm gonna be honest, and I don't really wanna be dollying about in a nappy."
Wise admitted that there had been friction between her and Love Island contestant Chris Hughes and she had not been impressed by his relationship with JoJo Siwa.
She said: "I don't think I was bothered. I think more so I can spot someone when they know what they're doing and that they know what they're gonna gain from someone. Just because Jojo is a young girl and being in the industry, like I know when you have latch on and people that want to get something and gain something from you. As time goes by, it's hard to say that it isn't genuine because at the end of the day I wasn't in both their pockets when they were getting to know each other exactly that, and in each other's beds every now and then apparently, but anyway. I just felt a little bit protected over Jojo because she's young and I just didn't want her to be used."
