Charlotte Crosby found her interview with Lorraine Kelly "awkward".
The 25-year-old reality TV star has revealed she was confused with the 55-year-old TV presenter's behaviour following an interview on ITV's 'Lorraine' yesterday (13.07.15) in which she repeatedly told Charlotte "it's not normal" to wet yourself on TV - something Charlotte has done numerous times on 'Geordie Shore' and 'Celebrity Big Brother'.
Speaking exclusively to BANG Showbiz, Charlotte said: "It got awkward at one point, but I'm used to that because I'm not the kind of person that everyone agrees on their behaviour, so I was just kind of like, 'Well, I don't know what your problem is. Everything's fine. I'm not bothered about it. Why are you?'
"But at the end of the day, it's turned round on her and there's been a little bit of backlash against her now, so if anything this controversy is good."
However, the former 'Celebrity Big Brother' winner went on to reveal that, despite her stern words on TV, Lorraine was "lovely" once the cameras went off.
Charlotte said: "I don't know why she dragged it out that much, because she was actually really lovely when the cameras were off. She was like, 'Oh, that was great, thank you so much.' She went, 'Oh, you're a breath of fresh air'. "And I had to give her a message from me dad, because me dad's a massive Dundee United fan, and so is she. So he was like, 'Please tell her that I always see her in the box when she's in the box'.
"I think maybe she might have felt a little bit bad afterwards, but that's just me guessing because we had a nice little chat afterwards, and it was fine, so god knows."
Following her interview with Lorraine, Charlotte was at Bluewater shopping centre in Kent, signing copies of her new book 'Me Me Me'.

Carol Vorderman likes representing "big-bummed girls".
The 54-year-old star - who has bagged the title 'Rear of the Year' twice and can balance a pint on her derriere - says that she has put weight on but is proud to be able to represent curvaceous women even though she is in her 50s.
She said: "When I was 39 I was wearing a mini-dress to the BAFTAs and people were like, '39 and wearing something above the knee!' I was astonished by the reaction but you wouldn't get that now.
"I've put on a lot of weight recently because I haven't been doing my walking. For me, I've found in my 50s that you do put on weight much easier."
The brainy presenter - whose looks have been compared to those of reality star Kim Kardashian - revealed that she is now working out every day in order to keep in shape.
She told Mirror Celeb: "I feel I've piled it on and gone up about half a dress size, it makes things a lot tighter. I do still train with someone about three times a week for about 45 minutes.
"I could walk for two hours a day very happily by myself but it's finding the time to do it. I was doing it earlier this year and had a Garmin wristband. When I was in America I was doing about seven miles a day but then I lost the band. Suddenly you're not doing as much."

Hannah New loves that her 'Black Sails' character challenges gender stereotypes.
The 31-year-old actress - who stars as saloon owner Eleanor Guthrie in the adventure TV series - has revealed how much she relishes playing someone who's distinct from most females in period programmes.
Speaking exclusively to BANG Showbiz, Hannah explained: "Eleanor is unlike any other female character you see in pirate dramas. She's grown up in a very tough situation and that's made her a strong woman, the sort you really see on screen.
"I really enjoyed the opportunity to play someone like Eleanor, who wasn't afraid to stand up to male pirates."
What's more, Hannah said the show - which is a prequel to the classic Robert Louis Stevenson novel 'Treasure Island' - offers an interesting depiction of the relationship between male and female pirates in the 18th century.
She reflected: "The women in 'Black Sails' aren't typical of how they're often portrayed in literature.
"In some senses, they have no choice to be strong and independent - and to stand their ground.
"And I think it's brave that the show is willing to take the risk of showing female characters in this way. I think she's a very interesting character to play."
'Black Sails' premieres tonight (14.07.15) at 10pm on HISTORY.

Tess Daly has co-designed and modeled a dress made out of Special K ingredients.
The 46-year-old TV presenter designed the dress with Petra Storrs, and made it out of 4000 stalks of wheat, 450 red apples and 50 vanilla pods with 500 whole almonds and 800 flaked almonds, 50 flowers and blossoms.
Created to celebrate the launch of Tess's very own Special K recipe, the amazing dress took five people over 200 man hours to produce, and Tess was "amazed" at the finished product.
The 'Strictly Come Dancing' host said: "I was amazed at the result Petra achieved - I never dreamed she'd create something so uniquely beautiful. To have been allowed a hand in the design process was a great experience - I love fashion, and I love food - what a perfect combination of the two!"
Petra has designed out-of-this-world creations for stars including Lady Gaga, Miley Cyrus and Florence Welch in the past, but admitted this dress was a "huge challenge".
The designer said: "I've created some weird and wonderful things in my time but to make a dress 100% out of the ingredients of a cereal recipe was a huge challenge and involved a lot of hard work. Thankfully Tess and I shared a vision of what we wanted to achieve and it was great working with her to achieve this stunning result."

Kirk Norcross has vowed to quit reality TV.
The former 'The Only Way is Essex' star had a traumatic experience when he came face to face with his ex-fiancee Cami Li in the new series of 'Ex On The Beach' and said the "explosive" scenes have made him want to focus on other things instead of more reality shows.
He said: "In the day we're all mates and then by night everyone just goes crazy.
"There's one bit in it where I'm crying, like really crying.
"When Cami suddenly emerged when I was lying on the sun lounger, it is just ridiculous.
"It had been two years since we spoke, not even a phone call.
"We both have different ideas about how it ended - she came in there all guns blazing.
"It was explosive, I've never had nor seen a row like it.
"I'm not saying she's a gold-digger but Cami likes a money lifestyle.
"There are so many fit women in there, I fell in love two or three times.
"This is the last bit of reality telly for me - I'm focusing on music and other projects after this."
As well as 'Ex On The Beach' and 'TOWIE', the 27-year-old nightclub promoter also featured in the ninth series of 'Celebrity Big Brother', but is keen to turn over a new leaf and rarely comes into contact with any of his co-stars from the ITVBe show which brought him his fame.
He told The Sun newspaper: "I don't really talk to anyone from 'TOWIE' any more."

Amanda Holden has compared her nipples to Ant & Dec.
The 'Britain's Got Talent' judge has joked that her nipples have a mind of their own and made the comparison to 'Saturday Night Takeaway' hosts Anthony McPartlin and Declan Donnelly because of their hosting style of presenting from different sides.
She said: "They're out now having a meeting, they're not with me. They are like Ant and Dec, and they always stand on certain sides. Maybe they should start blogging or start vlogging."
The 44-year-old beauty's nipples became a regular topic of conversation after they were clearly seen through her dress at auditions for the ITV talent show earlier this year and she's now joked they should get their own agent.
She told MailOnline: "They certainly should have their own management, let alone insurance, because they upstage me anywhere I go."
The 'This Morning' presenter admitted she is flattered people are so obsessed with them as they never got much attention when she was younger.
Amanda explained: 'I'm amazed that they are even being talked about because I'm 44 and I'm thrilled. No one spoke about them when I was in my twenties."
And she's confessed she would definitely consider designing her own range of nipple covers, adding: "I should probably look into doing something."

Sarah Harding gave Tracy Barlow a "good slap" on her first day at 'Coronation Street'.
The former Girls Aloud singer is set to join the ITV soap as Joni, the wife of Tracy's first husband Robert Preston, next week and she's revealed she had to put the feisty character in her place on her very first day on set.
Sarah told The Sun newspaper: "I had a slanging match on my very first day! I had to give Tracy a good slap.
"Every time they shouted cut I would be giggling because [actress] Kate [Ford] is so lovely and the complete opposite to her character.
"It was all choreographed to look nasty but I didn't actually touch her.
"My character isn't a baddie, but she also isn't very nice. Tracy is her nemesis so you can imagine she is quite tough!"
Meanwhile, Kate - who has played Tracy since 2002 - has revealed her most embarrassing moment on the Manchester based soap was when she was asked to mimic the sounds of childbirth.
She told Radio Times magazine: "It was very embarrassing. You make noises like that in isolation and it sounds like you are having sex. But I had to do the moans in front of an all-male crew.
"They just put a mic over you and say, 'Right, go! Do some birthing sounds.' "

Jeremy Clarkson felt "sad" driving around the 'Top Gear' track for the final time.
The 55-year-old TV star - who was sacked by the BBC earlier this year for punching a producer in a row over a steak - drove around the show's track at Dunsfold Aerodrome in Surrey in aid of charity.
Before embarking on the lap, Jeremy asked his Twitter followers which of three sports cars - two Ferraris and a Mercedes-Benz - he should use, saying: "Right. About to do my last ever lap of the Top Gear test track. What car should I use?"
And following the lap, Jeremy revealed the mixed emotions he experienced having taken to the track for one final run.
He tweeted: "My last ever lap of the Top Gear track is done. Bit sad leaving the place for the final time.
"2 good things about the last lap. It raised a load of cash for a good cause. And I did the motherf***er of all tail slides through Chicago. (sic)"
Meanwhile, Jeremy's replacement, Chris Evans, recently said he has "big shoes" to fill and the responsibility has led him to feel like sci-fi character Doctor Who.
He said: "There have been 34 presenters before me, so it's a bit like 'Doctor Who'.
"When I took over Terry Wogan's Radio 2 show, people kept saying 'I had big shoes to fill' and they keep saying it again now.
"By the way, Jeremy is very tall, so they're even bigger shoes to fill."

'Emmerdale' will be rocked by a huge explosion.
The ITV soap will see several characters killed and many more injured following Debbie Dingle (Charley Webb) and Pete Barton's (Anthony Quinlan) wedding when the village hall is blown up.
A source revealed: "The writers felt it was time for a shake-up, so that is exactly what we are doing. The village hall felt a bit tired and run-down, so what better way to bring it into the 21st century than to blow it up?"
Producers are reportedly hoping to rival the soap's plane crash in 1993 which drew in millions of viewers with four characters being killed off in the big-budget stunt.
And show makers are hoping some of the most expensive stunts and special effects ever to be used on the show will keep viewers gripped.
The insider told The Sun newspaper: "It will see deaths and injuries as some of the show's biggest characters are pulled out of the rubble covered in blood and mud.
"We are sure it will have every soap fan glued to their screens."
It has not yet been revealed which characters will lose their lives, although Rachel Breckle (Gemma Oaten) and Val Pollard (Charlie Hardwick) are believed to be among those who will perish in the blast following the announcement the stars will leave the show this year.
The explosive scenes were filmed over 23 days and are set to air next month at the end of the show's dramatic "summer of infidelity".
