Speaking to The Sun, she admitted: "Honestly, I was robbed of the opportunity to show all of my skills.

“It's a very intense experience the heat when you're inside the Bear Pit.

"It was extremely hot, it was raining, there were snakes, all sorts of things."

Just days ago insiders close to the show revealed that the London born model had felt 'belittled' by Bear.

Speaking on the situation, she said: "Honestly, it doesn't really matter because I'm here right now and I'm able to spread my message.

"I went on to Bear Hunt to be able to show young women that they can see what they did and they don't have to be a pretty face.

"So I hope that the young women who watch me on that show are inspired and that's what I really put on.”

Sources close to Holly Willoughby revealed to that Bear had tried to reinforce a perception that she was 'Barbie' on the show.

They said: "Leomie felt belittled by Bear and that because she’s a model he was trying to reinforce this perception that she was a Barbie.
