Speaking on This Morning, the 18 year old admitted that she spent Saturday night with her eyes and ears covered and made her family watch her screen time instead. Gamu told Eamon and Ruth:<\/p>\n<p>\u2018I was at home and I was so so nervous. I spent the whole day trying to block it out, but trying to remember as well. When it was time to start watching, I just covered my eyes and said \u201cI hope I\u2019m not on first\u201d. When I came on I didn\u2019t watch it. I closed my eyes and closed my ears and didn\u2019t want to see it. Afterwards I asked everybody \u201cHow was it? Tell me the bad bits, tell me the good bits?\u201d I mentally prepared myself and then I watched it.\u2019<\/p>\n<p>Gamu has been made the bookie\u2019s early favourite to win the show. When\u00a0 asked how she felt about this on This Morning by Eamon Homes, she replyed:<\/p>\n<p>\u2018Hopefully I\u2019ll live up to it. I\u2019m up for the challenge.
