Heidi & Spencer have come second in Celebrity Big Brother.
The controversial Hills duo fell at the final hurdle to winner Rylan Clark.
Speaking to Brian Dowling against chants of "Off! Off! Off!", Heidi said she had found her experience "really hard" as "strangers in a different country".
Asked by Dowling whether viewers had seen the "real" Heidi & Spencer, the latter said: "For sure."
When the CBB host then read out some of the couple's bad press, Spencer called "the authors of these headlines... brilliant".
Heidi added: "It's just a game, you're supposed to try to win."
Regarding 'clap-gate', Heidi insisted that there had been a "miscommunication", and she had been clapping because other housemates' successes had been applauded and she was "proud of... [her] marriage".
The duo also insisted that they had known they were not speaking to a real fan for the uproar-creating 'Big Blogger' segment, although they admitted they had not thought they were communicating with the other housemates.
Spencer said he would have spoken about the other contestants as he did regardless, commenting: "Absolutely - you try living with them."
When Dowling asked why the Americans thought they had been nominated so much, they said the others had "never really liked us". Spencer added that he had "not [been] up for knowing others" and "didn't come here to meet any new friends" but to be "champions".
They ended the interview by thanking viewers who voted for them, saying: "We truly love you."
