‘I am in complete shock at what’s just happened. I am the Sole Survivor. I have learned that I can do way more than I think I can. I survived for 48 days,’ she said.
‘I made massive blindsides. I was a physical beast out here and I never thought I would be.’
However, Hayley said playing the game was harder than she had imagined.
‘I’m proud of being able to come out here and play a really big strategic game. I didn’t want to hide in the shadows,’ she admitted.
