Before I walked out, all I wanted to say was this: I hate that people are being called bullies and that there\u2019s bad blood between us.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \" data-tmdatatrack=\"content-unit\" data-tmdatatrack-type=\"paragraph\">She added: \u201cI had a wonderful time with everyone despite one difficult incident, and I truly hope we can hold on to the life lessons and the incredible experience we shared together. I adore them all.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \" data-tmdatatrack=\"content-unit\" data-tmdatatrack-type=\"paragraph\">She continued: \u201cI also feel that the word bully is a very serious accusation.

There are too many truly bad people in the <a aria-label=\"\" class=\"TextLink_text-link__dBSS0 TextLink_enabled__dJF3l\" href=\"https:\/\/www.mirror.co.uk\/news\/world-news\/\" rel=\"follow nofollow noopener\" tabindex=\"0\" target=\"\">world<\/a> already, and it\u2019s dangerous to label good people in that way. Adam apologised, and I thought that was a very grown-up thing to do.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \" data-tmdatatrack=\"content-unit\" data-tmdatatrack-type=\"paragraph\">\u201cI also believe friendships and banter can sometimes be misunderstood when viewed from the outside.

Over the last two weeks, I\u2019ve received a lot of verbal abuse on social media. I understand people feel passionate about the show and support their favourites, and I respect that, but I don\u2019t deserve to be sworn at or called names. I would never treat anyone like that.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \" data-tmdatatrack=\"content-unit\" data-tmdatatrack-type=\"paragraph\">\u201cYou call me grandma, but would you speak to your grandmother that way? What about kindness? What about respect?
