STAR: Hi Aisleyne! How has your life changed since BB?
Aisleyne: It's been amazing. I've been so busy, I never know where I am from one day to the next. I never could afford to put a deposit down on a flat, and now I can.
S: What has the public reaction to you been like?
A: People come up to me all the time, going: 'Ais-leeeyne! Know yourself!' Nobody has been horrible, but one guy told me his girlfriend didn't like me. I didn't know what to say, so I went: 'Ah, bless her!' I was so worried I'd come out and be public enemy No.1, but people have told me I was the most real person in there.
S: Are you surprised that 'Know yourself' has become a national catchphrase?
A: Yeah, but it's not derogatory. It's not like 'f*** off, you silly b*tch'.
S: Did you even know that it's even a ringtone now?
A: That's wicked! I want it, how do I get it?
S: You should get royalties...
A: I should! 'You need to know yourself, little girl...' I should copyright it.
S: Met any interesting celebs?
A: Jade Goody was really nice - not dizzy at all! She said she didn't like me at first but grew to like me. She's a good girl; she has done well for herself.
S: Were you shocked at how much Nikki seemed to hate you?
A: Yes, she really sl*gged me off! We had our disputes but I was always genuine. When I tried to make up with her it wasn't fake. When I saw the clips I was angry. I was like: 'What the f***? What is this girl's problem? Tell me to my face. Don't slag me off and then let me mollycoddle you and comfort you when you're sad'. She f****** used me.
S: Have you had any awkward run-ins since the show?
A: I've only seen her once, at the reunion party, and she was p***** and all over Pete.
S: Did you speak to her?
A: No. She was clinging onto Pete and wouldn't let anyone near him! Me and Pete tried to speak on a few occasions but she wasn't having it.
S: It sounds like she was very possessive of him
A: Yes. And I actually went up to her at the party because I heard she'd been sl*gging me off and I said: 'Babes, you know what? I don't really give a s*** about anything you've said. Let's just forget about it'. And she went: [doing a spookily accurate Nikki impression]: 'Huh, huh?'
S: Why do you think it didn't work out between her and Pete?
A: Because Pete is a free spirit, he needs someone creative and spiritual. Nikki could just see the potential of 'the Pete and Nikki story'. And because he's so sweet and genuine he turned a blind eye to her tantrums.
S: Being in a relationship with Nikki can't be easy
A: No, I don't think any guy off the street would be able to handle her mood swings. And she disrespected Pete's friends. What's that about? She went to their house and sl*gged them off. You don't do that! She's just on an ego trip. She phoned up one of the other housemates the other day saying: 'I'm the most famous person out of Big Brother, everyone wants to know about me'.
S: Who did she call?
A: I really can't say! I feel like a bi@tch now.
S: Have you spoken to Grace and patched things up yet?
A: No, what would I speak to her for? Unless she apologises to Susie [for throwing water at her]. She's got no respect. She reminds me of the classroom bully, an arrogant spoilt brat who thinks she's the 'bees knees'.
S: So what did you think when you heard she had been attacked in the street?
A: Well, I'm not an evil person, so I was shocked and felt sorry for her. I hope she's alright.
S: Oh come on, after what you've just said, wasn't there even a small part of you that was just a little bit glad?
A: No, honestly. I wouldn't wish that on anyone. That's horrible.
S: Would you ever make up?
A: She doesn't have any qualities I would want in a friend. Grace is arrogant, ignorant and thinks she is the hottest thing since sliced bread. And she called me a moose - but she needs to look in the mirror!
S: Do you think she and Mikey will go the distance?
A: No. They'll last as long as there is interest from the media. Get this, Mikey said in an interview that he'd slap me. Come on then! Tell me where and I'll be there.
S: You and Imogen have stayed mates - what's going on between her and Sezer?
A: Nothing! I've been with her every time she has seen him. She doesn't want to go there.
S: Is it true that you and Imogen had a big fight on a night out?
A: No, I had a row with Sezer. He threw a £10 note at me when I was dancing, like I was some kind of stripper. I flipped!
S: So now you've made some money, would you splash out on another boob job?
A: I wouldn't mind getting them bigger. I'm thinking about the idea - it does become addictive.
S: Would you like to go as big as Jordan?
A: Yeah, she looks great. And at the end of the day, she has made a career out of it.
S: You've done some pretty saucy photo shoots...
A: Yeah, the first time I was nervous but when I saw the pictures, I was like: 'I wanna do it again'. It's fun.
S: Much has been said about your ex, Curtis Davies, who is currently in prison for firearms offences. Are you still in touch?
A: Yes, he's my best friend. He made a mistake and has paid for it. He's everything my family haven't been. I don't know if we'll get back together when he comes out next year, but I want to help him put his life back on track. I won't be with him unless he is on the straight and narrow - I can't be 30 and going to see my man in prison.
S: Haven't you seen lots of nice men since you've been in BB?
A: Not really, but I am looking! It's difficult these days - blokes are either married, divorced, got a girlfriend or are f****** cokeheads. Or maybe I'm just going to the wrong places!
S: Has being on television made it harder for you to meet guys?
A: Definitely. Normal blokes think they can't approach you. Having said that, I've been inundated with gay guys! I've got a massive gay following there, which is great. I'm loving the gay men!

Loving all of that - except the bit about the boobs. Leave 'em Ash, they're great as they are. Very pleased to hear she's been able to put down a deposit on a flat - that will help to secure her future. Trust Ash to be sensible and not fritter it all away on Gucci bags. And as for Sezer - dispicable little man!
