Roxanne Pallett admitted she’s scared for the future amid fears the fallout from her Celebrity Big Brother "punch" drama could END her career.
The former Emmerdale star quit the Channel 5 show at the weekend after accusing Corrie actor Ryan Thomas of assaulting her.
The actress, 35, returned for a belated exit interview tonight where she was grilled by host Emma Willis over the scandal .
Roxanne claimed she was ‘the most hated girl in Britain’ as she conceded she got the incident, which many viewers defended as merely play fighting, "massively wrong".
She told Emma: "I’m the most hated girl in Britain right now, it’s a lot to deal with.
"It’s the title I feel everyone has given me at the moment. All I can do is own it, accept it and apologise."
When Emma asked if she thought she could still have a career, Pallett said: "I am scared about the future, but to be honest, Emma, I just need to think about today.
"I’m human and I made a massive, massive, horrible mistake."
Roxanne claimed said she watched the clip of herself and Ryan as soon as she left the house and immediately realised it was a "completely different scenario to how it felt at the time".
The actress said she had thought Ryan didn’t like her and it was "almost like I convinced myself it was done with malice and it wasn’t, and I know it wasn’t now".
When ‘ice queen’ Emma suggested Roxanne could have "ruined" Ryan, she replied: "I feel devastated, it cripples me with embarrassment and shame that I could have put somebody in that position."
Earlier on Monday, Roxanne also told how sorry she was on Channel 5’s Jeremy Vine.
During her chat with Emma, the presenter suggested many fans were not "buying" the apology.
Roxy said: "I fully agree and understand every single person’s reaction to that. If I’d have been at home watching that I would have been the same.
"I was wrong, massively wrong. I wish I had the words to say how gutted… hindsight is a wonderful thing, I got it wrong.
"Only I can go away now and figure out why I became that sensitive that I manufactured a different version in my mind.
"The fact that I used terminology like woman beater and words like assault and abuse, I can’t apologise enough."
The actress said she misjudged the situation because of her "sensitivity, fragility, over-reaction".
"I used to think they were character traits but they are character flaws and that’s what I need to go away and sort out."
Struggling to hold back tears, Roxanne said: "For Ryan and his family and his friends and his colleagues and everybody that I’ve affected by such an enormous reaction, it could have been devastating for him – all I can say is I’m devastated and I’m sorry."
Fans took to Twitter to heap praise on Emma for the way she conducted herself.
