"They pretty much said we need a villain and Keira popped her hand up and goes 'bingo bango,' Laura told Kyle and Jackie O on KIIS 106.5 this morning.

"She is loving it, she's getting great attention from it. Keira's Keira and I don't think she can change who she is and that is why she has been selected to go on."

So it appears Keira IS being the villain on purpose. Interesting...

Last night the 29-year-old Sydneysider caused drama and went head-to-head with Alex after she used her white rose power to whisk Richie away to a private room during the cocktail party.

Laura also told the breakfast radio hosts that she's not heartbroken by Richie's rejection.

"I'm pretty happy to be out to be honest. I just didn't find that connection, that little spark," she said.

Despite being physically attracted to him, Laura went onto say it didn't extend to anymore more than that.

"I found him attractive, he's good looking I can't fault aesthetic of his face. We had nothing in common, no connection was made and I just felt that I really wanted some fresh talent and wanted someone who had never done it before."
