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.

She was slammed by 20 of her former soap co-stars, as well as viewers and famous fans of the show, and now her former agents have blasted her online.

When they received a tweet asking if they still plan on representing Roxanne, a member of David Daly Associates insisted she's no longer on their books.

The agent couldn't resist taking a swipe at their former client.

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 heightened. Your insecurities are heightened.

"All I can say I can explain is in the moment it felt worse than it was.

"It was the word deliberately I regret.

"I massively apologise to Ryan his family, friends, 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."

Roxanne left through the back door after hearing crowds chanting "get Roxy out" during Friday's eviction show.

Viewers were left outraged by her apparent attempts to smear Ryan's name, which he claimed could have "ruined him".
