After Australia voted Ryan Buckingham out of the Big Brother house last night, the self-described "very good-looking" 22-year-old Melbourne model has plenty of goss to share about his relationship with Estelle, and how it felt when she gave "geek" Bradley his first kiss ever.
"The connection I've made with Estelle is one of the strongest I've ever made with a female in five or six years, definitely," Ryan tells TheFIX.
"At first it was awkward to say the least, sitting there and seeing Bradley kiss Estelle, and everyone's jumping up and down like they'd just won TattsLotto, and I was just sitting back being calm and collected."
"Estelle's a really thoughtful person, she's really affectionate. She knows for a fact that Bradley really likes her — it was only a kiss, there's nothing bad about it."
"So for all the people out there who think that Bradley might get on with Estelle, I'd just say 'Good luck Bradley'. But whatever happens happens."
"Estelle's told Bradley on a couple of occasions she's not attracted to him, so it's not an issue at all." Yet!
Ryan famously gave his looks a "nine-and-a-half" out of ten when he went into the house, but he insists he was just having a laugh at himself.
"I wouldn't really rate myself that high. Some would say I would, but I was just having a bit of fun with the cameras," he says.
When TheFIX asked him what he'd really rate himself, he responded: "I'm just a normal guy! Eight? Nine?"
Ryan was coy when we asked him what he'd rate Estelle out of ten.
"As they say, beauty is in the eye of the beholder. She's a great girl, there's nothing wrong with her. I'll say nine … ten?" he laughs. "Okay, ten out of ten! It's not just looks, it's her personality as well."
Looks aside, Ryan is keen to attend the graduation for his commerce and law degree next week, and see where his modelling career takes him from there.
"[Big Brother is] easily the best thing I've ever done in my life," he concludes.
"There's a lot of experiences that I've had in the house, a lot of lessons that I've learnt — like you should never judge a book by its cover, and give people a chance to form a relationship, and get to know someone."
