After previously describing herself as the ‘real life Elle Woods’ in a promo for the hit show, Larissa said people are often surprised to learn that she’s a lawyer.

‘I’ve had instances where I’ve turned up for a meeting and they say, “can you get Larissa Trownson,” and I say, “I am Larissa Trownson,” she said with a laugh.

‘People judge me constantly.’

Contestants knock money from the $100,000 prize every time they break the show’s strict rules, which include no kissing or self-gratification.

Larissa said with co-star Melinda Berry’s statement on the show that there was plenty of sexual tension in the house. 

‘When you say you can’t do something you just want to do it more right so just the fact we couldn’t have sex, sex was always on our minds,’ Larissa said.

Looking back at her time on the show, Larissa said that she ‘loved it.’   

‘It was definitely an unreal experience,’ she said, despite cameras following your every move.

‘Halfway during the show I had an emotional breakthrough – which is quite shocking I was able to do so with so many cameras around but you just completely loose your head in there,’ she said, saying she pretty much forgot about the cameras being around.

Season two of Too Hot to Handle is currently available to watch on Netflix.
