SHE was the nation’s favourite villain after Big Brother 7, but now Grace Adams-Short is winning friends again thanks to her circus skills.
The pretty dancer from Plymouth is proving a real winner in Sky One’s hit Sunday night reality show, Cirque De Celebrite.
And she’s promising that she’s a reformed character from the cruel girl we all loved to hate.
“There’s no time for bitchiness on this show,” she told us. “We are all too shattered from the training!”
Grace, who performed with a giant ball last week, has been working night and day on her trapeze skills ahead of Sunday’s show and says that she is enjoying the tough schedule.
“It’s started to get really tough. I was up at six this morning and I’ve spent the day hanging by my ankles. I’ve been in agony,” she said.
“It’s totally different from Big Brother, where you’re just bored out of your mind sitting on a bean bag all day. People are seeing a different side to me on this show."
And it seems as if people are warming to Grace.
“I came out on Sunday and I got the biggest cheer. It was weird - I’m used to people booing,” she added. “People see a different side to me on this show and they’re not giving you a character by editing what happens.”
Grace thinks that her Big Brother housemates would struggle to keep up in the circus, with one exception - her own fella Mikey!
“He would be alright because he’s really strong and physical and fit,” she swooned. “The others wouldn’t cope.”
When the circus is over, Grace is looking forward to spending more time with her handsome Liverpudlian fiancé.
“Me and my family are going up to Liverpool to spend Christmas with Mikey’s family,” Grace revealed. “Our families get on well so that’s great.”
Before that, though she has to master the skills of the trapeze and high wire.
“I love it. I might run away and join the circus after it’s over,” she laughed.
“Plus, I’m a goodie not a baddie for a change.”
All I can say is yeah. right
