'She likes to push boundaries and whatever. Mel and I are very different people. We got on well, but I wouldn't behave a lot of the ways she behaved.'

'The photographer would be like can I take this shot and that shot and she would be like "No, I'm done".

'We were suppose to do an X-Factor interview with Kyle and Jackie' O at the time,' Bassingthwaighte said.
'The four of us were suppose to go and I think Ronan [Keating] couldn't. Then Mel was late and then Guy [Sebastian] didn't show up and I was the only one there and then they pulled the interview.
'I was like "I am embarrassed that you just pulled this interview."

'I mean fair enough. You just don't want me because you have these international stars. But that is so insulting.
'They were really angry that none of the guys showed up...I was like "I cannot understand this mentality."'
Bassingthwaighte also revealed to Dimond that she was going to 'throw in the towel' after her first season on the reality show.
'I said I don't get it. I don't understand any of it, I don't want to be this person. I don't want to sit here and take all your stuff, Not from any of them,' she said.
'I thought this was suppose to be positive, and love and mentoring and guidance and that's how I've always lived my life. So I really didn't like it.'
