Chat Ed : Settle in, get comfy...Welcome Shelley.
Shelley : Big love to everybody for watching the show. I hope you're not disappointed in what you've seen tonight.
kppony : You were AMAZING
sinead : what can we say shelley? absolutely completely and utterly amazing
mark1504 : That's not what I call losing!
Aimee : hello Shelly, well done you were ace. How did you like the way the film makers represented you as a person?
Shelley : As a person they couldn't have got me far wrong, they've shown me as I am. What you've seen is who Shelley is.
EssexPaul : As usual...a brilliant programme. Shelley, how did you come to terms with your fears? and how did being talked to like that affect you?
Shelley : The fear didn't come into it because my biggest fear was dying! The way that I was spoken to certainly makes you buck your ideas up and it just did something in me. It pushed my way of thinking and my way of making me more determined.
27tim : Shelly you were GREAT! Does it make you want to change your lifestyle and live inthe counrty?
Shelley : I've got to admit, it does make you feel more countrified. It made me feel more at home in respect to smelling the greenery and the cowshit! It made me want to carry on riding. It's like riding a bike and it's something I will never forget, but no, I don't want to be a showjumper.
Kaveh : Shelly, have you gone riding since?
debvfm : i think you should carry on riding you have a natural talent
John Perrin : hey sheeley are you going to take up showjumping as a career ?
Shelley : I won't take up showjumping as a career, just for fun. I have ridden since, on my friend's horse. She actually wants me to jump her and I'm going to in this competition that's coming up.
kukisu : What was the worst bit of the experience Shelley
Shelley : Getting up early and the night before the competition thinking "how am I going to get round that course?" Also believing in myself, which I didn't at the time.
taffia : In hindsight, are you less disappointed by the fact that the judges saw through you, given that you performed so well?
Shelley : Not at all because I still feel to this day that I faked it. The only reason I got caught out was the foxhunters thing that I said in the interview bit. To me though, I got through it, so it was a success.
Kat_Apollo : you did FAKE it Shelly and you did BLOODY amazing congratulations
Darren : Hi Shelley, you were amazing!! Have you kept in touch with everyone since the program was made?
Shelley : Yeah we've kept in touch, we saw each other at the launch party and we'll be seeing each other on the Big Breakfast tomorrow morning. We will keep in touch, they're amazing and stars in their own right the pair of them.
Claudia : How saddlesore did you get? I'm surprised you could even walk :)
Shelley laughs
Shelley : You don't need to know how saddle sore I was! It took 2 weeks to get over the first batch! The whole 4 weeks I was sore! I had a few problems not just with my arse but with my calves too, because I'm so used to wearing high heels I had to learn to stretch my calves again.
Andy Courousso : What was the reaction of your mates at the Hippodrome?
Becky : are you still dancing ??????
Shelley : I am still dancing. My friends were gob-smacked, they were all speechless and very proud.
Pacey : Have u danced in those leather boots since??
Shelley laughs
Shelley : I've been in the Sports Model of the Year competition and so I'll have to wear those again for one of the sections, because I had to represent a sport in one section, so I did showjumping.
Chas : In that case you deserve a sugar lump
Shelley chuckles at Chas
clive b : Shelley, absolutely fantastic performance, but how did you get picked for the programme in the first place?
Shelley : Well clive, they contacted my dance agency and one of the researchers met me and we went from there.
LK : Do you feel the experience has changed you?
Shelley : Yes. It's enough to change any person.
Holty : Nice one Shelley, do you think your dancing helped?
Shelley : Totally. Like they said in the show they needed someone with a sense of balance and technique and so yeah it all helped.
annie : Goodnight everyone, but Shelley, please tell me, did you ever injure yourself badly while you were learning? You were fantastic girl. Well done.
Pat : how many times did you fall off?
Shelley : I fell off once. I landed on my feet! And I injured my right calf and it had to be strapped up in ice.
Penelope : So did u enjoy the Horse Scene??
Sparky : Did you meet anyone you fancied at the Ball you attended?
Shelley laughs
Shelley : I met this bloke called Guy Doofan, and yes I fancied him! The horse scene was completely different to my life though but you could get into after about a year! I couldn't fault the atmosphere though. And if I'd been there longer I could have probably got quite into it.
jamesuk : Are you now more ambitious what do you want fromlife next?
Shelley : Well, it makes you look at life. I think I'll stick to dancing and modelling. I'm no more ambitious than I was, that's who I am, but it's made me feel like I can do anything if I put my mind to it. And if you want to do something like this you really can if you put your mind to it. It just goes to prove that it is possible. It's one of those things where you say suck it and see! You can do it!
Sarah-Horses4courses : Did you find the horsey social scene nicer than you expected.? They sometimes have quite a bad press.
Shelley : They do have a bad press and I did find that it was quite cliquey. But we had no time to sit and think about what people think about you. I found the horsey scene quite tough to take but we just had to look through that and Channel 4 helped me with that.
Andre Santoro : Congrats on being a dead set legend! What do you feel this experience has taught you if any?
Shelley : It's taught me to look at life because I've always been a negative person. It teaches you to look at something and be positive. So it let me think about what I could do. It's taught me the importance of believing in myself.
pippa : Not a question, Just well done you ! and Tim & Mary -Anne. You were brave and have talent. We are not the easiest bunch to please. Brilliant.!
Targa Hammond : Was Tim Stockdale as mean as he was portrayed to be or was it only brief periods of time?
Shelley : Tim was strong-minded; he knew what he wanted. He was laying down the laws but I needed that. He was a real softy when I got to know him, so he wasn't as tough as he made out. He had a great deal of admiration for me.
Stallion : Are you single? Here's hoping...
Shelley : Yes I am!
Shelley laughs
jamjar : ME ME ME ME!!!
terry6 : me to ohh pick me pick me
