Dr Kasim “Kas” Ahmed tells BBC Asian Network News that Armani, who was unmasked in the previous episode as a traitor, had defended him with “the best of intentions”.
But he thinks she ended up sealing his fate instead.
“After Armani went, everything seemed to fall on me, and it didn’t matter what I did,” he says.
“Everyone had just decided that I was a traitor.”
Kas, who has returned to shifts in the A&E department since filming the show, says that being a doctor could have worked against him once the game got under way.
“I work in hospital. I’m used to things being a mess,” he says.
“I’m used to being in high-pressure situations and just being able to be myself, because you learn how to develop yourself and how to maintain your composure.
“But everyone else wasn’t used to dealing with it.”
Kas does agree, though, that some of the accusations thrown at him during the roundtable scene – where contestants must choose who to banish – were “ridiculous”.
