[6] Her catchphrase "tash on" became a new entry in the online Collins Dictionary.

[8] Pattison was in Cancun, Mexico, during the third series where, during filming, Guarnaccio proposed to her.

In the fifth series, Pattison calls off her engagement with Guarnaccio and ultimately ends the relationship. Guarnaccio later decided to leave the show following the break-up.
