She was the first housemate to be evicted from the Big Brother house, but delightful Charne is loving life after her Big Brother experience.
The fun-loving, sassy singer from the Gold Coast knew right from the word go, that her time on the show was going to be a challenge.
Right from the start, the 31-year-old, who revealed that her big secret is that she has obsessive compulsive disorder, said that she would either be the first or the last to go.
And after two weeks in the house, she has returned to an exceptional welcome on the outside along with “tonnes” of Facebook friend requests and some admirers.
“I’ve had a few interesting emails and Facebook messages,” she said. “Yesterday, when I did a live online chat, I had a few date offers.”
“It’s flattering but you know, it’s not for me, I’m the most awkward dater in the world. I don’t date and I find dating incredibly awkward to deal with. I know I can get high anxiety from dating so I think, ‘OK, I’m just not going to do it’.”
Charne, who says she went into the house to get out of her comfort zone, got along fairly well with most of the other contestants.
But like many other housemates, she has an issue with 18-year-old Bradley who is up for nomination this week.
“Some of the comments he’s been coming out with – he’s been quite crass and quite rude, quite derogatory towards the girls and saying very inappropriate things,” she said.
“I just think with the environment, it’s quite extreme, it’s kind of a coping mechanism.
“He’s hanging around and talking with the boys a lot and I think they’re egging him on, because he felt that he could get away with it and they couldn’t get away with it. It’s just gotten progressively worse over the week. It’s a little disheartening.”
Five minutes with Charne:
What did you miss most in the house?
My music collection, I was craving a lot of “up” music, a lot of my ska music and some of my swing stuff. I was craving a little bit of Radiohead at times, when I was feeling a bit melancholy.
What was the worst thing you ate in the house?
The powdered soy milk – it was the most horrendous thing I’ve ever tasted in my life. I don’t mind lentils and chickpeas and sardines. The boys stank of sardines –there was nothing else for them to eat and because they were all working out, they needed that protein, but that’s all there kind of was.
Are you surprised by this week’s nominations?
No surprises – I kind of knew it was going to be those three.
Who is the most likely to crack under pressure?
I would hate to think anyone is, but I think… Ben and I were having a bit of a discussion a few nights ago, and I think he might. There have been a few things that have been aired out in the past few days, they don’t have much food in there at the moment, I think he – I’d hate to see him go – but yeah.
