" Ex-Celebrity Big Brother contestant Paula Hamilton has defended controversial housemates Heidi and Spencer Pratt, insisting that they are &amp;quot;kind... genuine, honest people&amp;quot;. The &amp;#039;80s supermodel, who was evicted over the couple - nicknamed Speidi - in the first public vote last week, claimed that her former co-stars &amp;quot;don&amp;#039;t backstab&amp;quot; and are &amp;quot;respectful&amp;quot; of other people.  &amp;quot;When they took Heidi and Spencer into the [basement]... they love being alone, they love snuggling up,&amp;quot; she told ITV&amp;#039;s Daybreak today (January 14). &amp;quot;They&amp;#039;re real, they&amp;#039;re spiritual, they don&amp;#039;t backstab, they&amp;#039;re kind and they didn&amp;#039;t kiss because no-one else had a partner and they&amp;#039;re being respectful.  &amp;quot;So I can say that they are absolutely genuine, honest people and I can&amp;#039;t wait to go and see them in Colorado.&amp;quot;  Hamilton even named Speidi as one of her picks to win the show, along with Neil Ruddock and Rylan Clark. Admitting that she had become &amp;quot;addicted&amp;quot; to Celebrity Big Brother since coming out, Hamilton said of her own stint in the show: &amp;quot;I had the best time in there... 75% of the time I was having a laugh, 25% of the time I was a bit &amp;#039;miz&amp;#039;. You saw a lot of the 25%.&amp;quot;  The 54-year-old previously told Digital Spy that she believes her ex-Celebrity Big Brother housemates &amp;quot;are all playing games&amp;quot;. Heidi and Spencer are facing Rylan, Claire Richards and Lacey Banghard in the next public vote. &amp;amp;gt; Celebrity Big Brother&amp;#039;s Heidi and Spencer - love them or hate them?
