‘I’m not giving any details away about how many people are involved in the finale,’ she added.
Julia explained that there’s no way the winner – nor the top three – would have been determined yet, as this will be voted upon by the public.
‘The finale will be hurtling toward us soon enough and of course there’s no way there can be a winner yet because you choose who that is,’ she said.
‘It’s a live vote, so you’re going to see who has earned it over that time. So will have earned it more than others, at the moment they all feel like they’re earning it.
‘They’re all putting in, they’re all giving us wonderful stories and private moments from their lives and they’re giving us their absolute all in their trials,’ she added.
