Roxanne Pallett gave her first interview since dramatically leaving Celebrity Big Brother (CBB) on Friday night after viewers turned against her for alleging Ryan Thomas ‘punched’ her repeatedly.

After hearing a live audience chant ‘Get Roxy out’ on Friday night, Roxanne decided to leave CBB. 

On this morning’s Jeremy Vine show, Roxanne said that soap actor Ryan did touch her but added:

When I look back on that footage, as soon as I left the house… I got it wrong.

Everything in that house becomes heightened, a look, an action, a comment. All I can say is in the moment, it felt worse than it was. It was the word deliberately that I regret, massively.

I massively apologise to not only Ryan, but his friends, his family, his fans, every single person who watched that and who justifiably saw an overreaction to what wasn’t a malicious act. 

Roxanne explained that she was ‘sensitive’ because of her past experience with domestic abuse.

Because I am sensitive, I mistook what was playful…I’ve worked with Women’s Aid because of my own experience and perhaps they were right in their recent comment that my reaction was perhaps a telltale sign of the fact that I have been in a situation like that.

In my life, I have become conditioned to be over sensitive to things like that. I’m devastated, I would be mortified to think that even one person out there felt that I’d discredited or undermined abuse – because that is not my intention.

Model Hailey Baldwin has broken her silence about life since her whirlwind engagement to singer Justin Bieber in July and spoke out against those critical of the romance. 

In an interview to Stellar Magazine, Hailey explained that the newfound attention since her engagement hasn’t fazed her:

I don’t think it’s affected me really. I have learnt to just try my best to ignore the negativity at this time so that I can enjoy this season of my life.

 Hailey said she was ”beyond excited’ for the upcoming wedding to Justin. 

However, the pair have reportedly slowed things down after initially wanting to have a short engagement. There were a few bumps in the road, after Bieber was spotted crying in public.

The rapper made the controversial statement in an interview with TMZ:

When you hear about slavery for 400 years—for 400 years? That sounds like a choice.

Nearly four months later Kanye has come forward and said sorry if people ‘felt let down’.

‘I don’t know if I properly apologised for how that slave comment made people feel, so I want to take this moment right now to say that I’m sorry for hurting, I’m sorry for the 1-2 effect of the MAGA hat into the slave comment and I’m sorry for people who felt let down by that moment
