    'My style is very eclectic. I guess you could say sporty, sometimes it's sexy, sometimes it's tomboyish, sometimes it's classy.' 

    Brittany revealed she would struggle to wear certain styles of shorts because of her bottom, saying: 'Because of my legs and my butt, the way these would sit on me all of my cheeks would be out.'Here in Florida, that's fine for some people, but mama Teresa would not be okay with all of that hanging out.

    'I find it most difficult probably to shop for bottoms because my waist is so small. When I put clothes on I find that if it fits in my legs, it doesn't fit in the waist.'

    'No gym. Still in prep, I think I had just started a prep when everything happened. I'm one of those types of people who is not fixing to quit.

    'I'm not a quitter. I've never quit a show and I've never cancelled a show, so I kept going through the whole prep.'

    Brittany has previously revealed she achieved her personal best of lifting 360lbs during the pandemic.

    She explained her boyfriend was quickly able to buy fitness equipment to set up a basic home gym. 

    'It's like some dumbbells, a squat rack, pure basics. We didn't have any full on machines. No hammer presses. Old school almost like jail training. 

    'We're up there Rocky. We live on the third floor, running our stairs and our neighbours are like 'what are you guys doing out here? again twice today''.

    Sharing advice for others, she said: 'If you have a dream or a goal that you think even sounds interesting, pursue it. What's the worst that can happen? That you fail, that you don't do it - or you that you love it and it ends up great.

    'Look at me, I literally looked in a magazine six years ago and was like I think I want to do it. I knew nothing about bodybuilding. Signed up did a show and did terrible. 

    'I came second to last place but even then I felt like a winner.

    'I looked at these girls and what that they had accomplished and I was like this is achievable. This is not out of my league and here we are now.
