She said: “What the hell just happened! Thank you so much I dunno what to say.
“I’ve had the best time ever and Lord only knows I’m annoying so thank you for having me.
“I’ve eaten brain and cockroach, real Bushtucker, I never turned down a trial, I just thought;you can do it’.
“I was really scared because you have to get the food, it’s such huge pressure. I never thought I could actually do them, I didn’t ever think I could do it and I can’t believe that I did.
“I’ve found the trials a lot harder than what I thought, everything made me a nervous wreck at every trial. I never want to do another Bushtucker trial ever again.”
Stacey was studying for a National Diplopma in Performing Arts (Musical Theatre) at Havering College when she auditioned for last year’s X Factor and she quickly shot to fame.
Last week the college laid on a Bush Tucker Trial with real creepy crawlies as a fun event for students to support Stacey’s efforts in the jungle.
The monstrous munchies included Barbecued Worms and Thai Green Curry Crickets but most students just couldn’t stomach giving them a try.
The staff and students at the college are also planning to open a special rainforest cafe to celebrate Stacey’s victory in the reality TV show.
The Rainforest Cafe menu is set to feature a kangaroo dish made from the finest rump – and none of the less than tasty kangaroo bits that Stacey had to endure.
