What did Roxanne Pallett say on the Jeremy Vine show?
Roxanne Pallett sensationally admitted "I got it wrong" in her first interview since quitting Celebrity Big Brother.
The ex Emmerdale actress faced a huge backlash from viewers after she accused housemate Ryan Thomas of physically assaulting her during a playful exchange in front of the cameras.
Appearing on Jeremy Vine's new Channel 5 show on September 3, 2018, Roxanne apologised for her "overreaction".
She told the host: "At the time it hurt, but when I look back on the footage, I got it wrong."
She added: "My mind ran away with me. I am a sensitive person. My friends and family can vouch for that.
"In the house, everything becomes so heightened, a look, a comment, an action. Your insecurities are heightened.
"All I can say is in the moment it felt worse than it was.
"I can't prove a feeling. It was the word 'deliberately' I regret.
"I massively apologise to Ryan, his family, friends, his fans - every single person who saw an overreaction to what wasn't a malicious act.
"I am heartbroken in contributing to Ryan's distress. I hope he can forgive me."
