Roxanne Pallett has emotionally revealed the real reason why she ‘made up’ allegations of violence against Ryan Thomas as she apologised to him for "getting it wrong".
The ex-Emmerdale star gave a seemingly contrite apology on today’s Jeremy Vine Show as she pleaded with the public to understand why she’d "over-reacted" to the situation, which saw Ryan playfully jab at her on Thursday’s episode of Celebrity Big Brother .
As a result of her tearful complaint in the Diary Room, Ryan was handed an official warning and told he could be removed from the house if he did it again – which left him sobbing to his housemates.

Body language reveals truth
Now, Roxanne has revealed the reason behind her motives was because she’d previously been in a domestic violence relationship that left her insecure.
After branding Ryan’s ‘attack’ "deliberate and unprovoked", Roxanne admitted she regrets using that language and claimed it comes across as a "telltale sign of being a victim of domestic abuse".
She said: "I massively apologise to not just Ryan, his family, friends, his fans. Every single person who watched that and completely unjustifiably saw an overreaction to what wasn’t a malicious act.
"At that moment, because I am a sensitive, I mistook what has playful."
She continued: "It’s the word ‘deliberate’ I regret. I doubted his intentions. There’s no malicious intent in that. I questioned his motivation. I got it wrong.
"He couldn’t disprove his intentions and I couldn’t disprove the feeling."
On her reaction to the clip, she said: "My judgement was clouded. My sensitivity was heightened. I wasn’t thinking straight. That’s something I need to go back and think on to become a better person."
Roxanne spoke about being the victim of domestic violence and admitted this has made her more "sensitive".
Getting emotional, she said: "I’ve actually been a victim of domestic violence years ago. I’ve spoken out about it. I’ve worked with Women’s Aid because of my experience.
"My reaction is a telltale sign of being in a situation like that. I would be mortified to feel even one person felt I discredited or undermined abuse."
She went on: "It felt foreign to me. In that moment my emotions and thought process was greater than the action. Looking back I massively overreacted. I got it wrong."
"This is a serious subject. It’s become something I need to focus on to not only rebuild my career but my personal life. This is something I need to focus on to not only rebuild my career but rebuild my personal life.
"This is something that has overshadowed everything. It’s a serious issue to me. What I want to reassure everyone is I overreacted.
"I apologise massively to every single person I affected, everyone I disappointed, and that I doubted the intention behind the action."
