Emma Willis Interviewed ‘Celebrity Big Brother’s Roxanne Pallett

Last night, Roxanne Pallett returned to Celebrity Big Brother for her exit interview with host Emma Willis. Pallett left the house after accusing co-star Ryan Thomas of punching her, subsequently retracting the allegation and saying she had misinterpreted the incident. Earlier in the day, she appeared on the Jeremy Vine Show, saying, "I massively apologise to not just Ryan but his family, his friends, his fans, every single person who watched that."

Willis asked Pallett, "How can you get something so wrong in your head?" Pallett responded, "How it felt when he did it, it hurt. I can’t prove a feeling, no one can. And the more I thought about it, it became heightened, and I convinced myself he meant to do that. And when I watched it back — the first thing I did when I got back was watch that, and immediately I realised."

Pallett continued: "I think it’s because I didn’t think he liked me, and the feeling I had afterwards was almost like, I convinced myself that it was done with malice, and it wasn’t, and I know it wasn’t now."

Willis continued, "Did you ever consider the implications that it would have on him? Can you imagine if those cameras hadn’t been there? You would have ruined somebody," to which Pallett responded, "I know. I feel devastated. It cripples me with embarrassment and shame that I could have put somebody in that position." She later added, "The fact that I used terminology like 'woman beater' and I used words like 'assault' and 'abuse' — I can’t apologise enough."

Pallett also alluded to her past experiences of domestic violence, telling Willis, "A lot of things in my past have made me a little too fragile."

During the exit interview, Willis asked the Emmerdale actress, "Would you forgive you?" Pallett responded, "I would want to," before tearing up. Willis subsequently removed her earpiece and told the crew, "Thanks, everyone," to signal the end of the interview.

Pallett called herself "the most hated girl in Britain" during her interview with Willis, saying, "It’s the title I feel everyone’s giving me at the moment, and all I can do is own it, accept it, and apologise, and try to take each day now bettering all of those things that I’m realising."
