The Aussie star said: 'I thought I would be the first out. I didn't think I was as interesting as everyone else.'
He mocked Heidi and Spencer, saying: 'According to Speidi, they had it the most difficult. They had each other. I had nobody. I think they're a pack of whingers actually.

She conceded: 'I think I found out I'm a lot tougher than I think I was.'
Reflecting on Speidi's delight in not letting her read her letter from home, she said: 'When Heidi clapped, I could have gone like that (punched her). That's heartless and spiteful.'
During Razor's interview, the 44-year-old insisted he didn't mind not winning: 'My agent told me not to get kicked out - which I nearly did and don't go first, so I'm alright.

Reflecting on the clash, he conceded: 'They're a bunch of f**king idiots. I'm a team player. It got too much. When someone bullies someone else, I stepped in and flipped out.'
He admitted he couldn't stand Rylan when he was a contestant on X Factor, but now describes him as a 'special boy' and urged viewers to vote for the Essex boy to win.
Friday's final came after the contestants spent 23 days in Big Brother House - the 11th series of the reality TV show.

In recent days, former X Factor star Rylan has been the bookies' favourites, followed by Speidi.
