Lesley's Diary - Pt 1
Day 13, 10:00
Get the inside scoop in the first instalment of Lesley's diary...
All this week, former housemate Lesley will be keeping a diary of her post-BB experiences and you can read it here, exclusively, on the Big Brother website.
Find out how, in her first weekend out of the House, Lesley enjoyed life in the fast lane, learned how to pose for the paparazzi, and fell head over heels for the lovely Dermot...
Saturday
One of the perks of doing this is the chauffeur-driven car. I do hope it drags on. I like these sort of gorgeous bodyguards-cum-drivers. I'm used to driving in the slow lane and I'm reluctant at my age to get into third gear. They swoop along overtaking and that's been wonderful!
So after leaving the House I was swept home, and I was a little bit disappointed to find everything so normal. There wasn't a lot of evidence that the place had fallen to pieces.
There were paparazzi everywhere - they were charming, really lovely. And I remember what Kate Winslet does, she always gives them a shot - stops and smiles. So I gave them a Kate Winslet.
One of the few things about Big Brother that I liked was my mattress, so getting to my own bed was a huge relief but it wasn't as significant as it might have been. I think it was more the bath, or more correctly, the three baths I had between arriving home and going to bed. The fact that I could bolt and lock the door was a pleasure.
Saturday was a quiet night at home and my husband had thoughtfully provided strawberries. I hope I don't prove to have some sort of allergy to them as I'm eating them in the excess at the moment.
Sunday
Sunday was very exciting because again they sent a car for me. I think I'd like one at nine o'clock every morning to drive me around Gloucestershire and bring me home. I could get used to that.
I went to do Big Brother's Little Brother, which I thoroughly enjoyed. Everyone had told me that Dermot O'Leary was reason to do it, and of course I hadn't got a clue who he was. But when he came towards me I could see stardom twinkling from his very pores, and fell in love with him instantly. I pretended to be a little wobbly on my feet so I could keep holding his arm.
I had a really super day at BBLB. It gave me an opportunity to slightly explain myself, and Wendy Richard was there and it was interesting meeting her.
I don't know what I've got planned this week, but offers are flooding in! I could be promoting mangles at this very moment...
