Do you think it was fair that you went home over Kellyanne?

Of course not! The judges looked at me fair and square and said, "Okay, we like your design, you did a good job as well" and at the end they turned and said, "Well, in this group challenge, we think you were a bit much of a group player and we're going to send you home."

Henry called Kellyanne passive-aggressive, I'm assuming you agree with this?

Kellyanne in general, when you're around her she's a little bit bipolar, she's either really high or really low and nothing in between. She was not having the best of days to put it mildly, she was being a general cow from the second we started till the second it finished.

So why was Kellyanne nominated as team leader?

That was actually decided before I even became a part of the team, when we had to scurry to get into our groups, I went for Anthony and Will but Mark jumped in and cut me off and I was evicted from the team straight away and the girls had already gotten together and by the time I had wandered over there, Yopi had already nominated Kellyanne. And pretty much the very first thing she [Kellyanne] said was "Ryan, you've got to shut up and listen this time." It wasn't an ideal start.

How hectic was it to design three outfits in eight hours?

The premise of the whole thing is that you get a very limited amount of time, and you've got other issue and you've got to spend time talking to Henry, which in that case, that day it took 45 minutes. It doesn't take long before you get a bit stressed time-wise.

Who were you closest to in the competition?

It would have to be Lauren and Anthony easily. Probably most people wouldn't have thought Anthony, but we generally are, we appreciate each other as people, which it really boiled down to. Lauren, in spite of what people might think, she's obviously a talented designer, she's done the whole cheerleading thing - she's actually quite accomplished at that. Besides all of that, she's amazingly down-to-earth, she doesn't have an ego, she's just really, really lovely and amazing. You have other personalities in the house which are much stronger, more dominant, they can be nice at times but they can be quite annoying also.

Who would those personalities be?

You have somebody like William where basically his personality is like a short-circuit loop where he's got a certain amount of jokes, a certain amount of stories and smart comments which is really funny and amazingly new when you start but when you're locked up in there for long enough you hear the same shit again. It's just telling the same stories to the same audience. Then you've got Michael - he's actually a really lovely guy when you get to sit down and talk to him but then a camera turns up and he turns into the hair-flicking monster that you see on TV. You've got other people like Amber, who got voted off the same time as I did and we were kind of mortal enemies in the house, we didn't really have too much left over for each other. There's absolutely nothing that stops her [Amber] talking about herself, this never-ending publicity machine about how fabulous she is in every possible way. You can just imagine living with someone that doesn't turn off, I got into the habit of just referring to her as "The Queen of hot-air and no substance." All pretty packaging - no good products.

What is your personal style?

I would say tailored. Preferably something that has a conceptual side to it as well, a driving force behind that idea.

What celebrity would you most like to dress?

I would ideally just like to do what I did and have celebrities come up to me because they identify with it instead of, "Let me make you something!"

Who do you want to win?
From a design perspective, I think Anthony would be amazing because he lives in his own little wonderful world where most designers actually have to challenge themselves to get beyond the connection. He's just marvellous, fabulous.
