CELEBRITY Big Brother fans "don't believe" Roxanne Pallett after she apologised for claiming Ryan Thomas abused her in the house.
The 35-year-old actress was slammed on Twitter during her interview on The Jeremy Vine Show today, where she explained why she said that her housemate had "deliberately" punched her.
However, her grovelling apology didn't wash with viewers, who accused interviewer Jeremy Vine of being "too soft".
One viewer commented: "Watched the Roxanne Pallet apology on #JeremyVine and unfortunately because of her behaviour do not believe a word she says."
As one fan fumed: "Sitting there looking sorry for herself is not an apology, she did it to save her own ass. Jeremy Vine was too soft on her, she needs to be made answer for what she's done. Not hiding behind excuses."
A third person raged on Twitter: "Roxanne is very vindictive, I don't believe she is one bit sorry she could have ruined Ryan's career and even worse so she deserves every thing she now gets."
And another viewer said she doesn't deserve to return to panto at Christmas, writing: "@Cfieldtheatres hope you’ll sack off Roxanne Pallett from your panto now, she doesn’t deserve a pay packet ever again."
Ryan's brother Adam Thomas also raged: "Jeremy vine to scared to speak up too pc pathetic interview !! ... to everyone that knows her and knows the real her and the lies and the stories she has spun for several years it is so frustrating to watch ... good scene tho Rox annnddd cut!!"
Roxanne's former Emmerdale co-star Sammy Winward simply branded her interview "Lies lies lies".
Charley Webb also insisted she was "backtracking," and wrote: "What about all the other accusations you’ve made along the years?
"Backtracking because no ones on your side. If those cameras hadn’t have been there, he would be finished. End of. #Roxanne"
Ex-Celebrity Big Brother contestant James Jordan called her a "compulsive liar", tweeting: "Just caught up with the Roxanne interview on the Jeremy Vine show
"She said 'I got it wrong' Basically that means... she didn't get away with it. She's a compulsive liar and done this SEVERAL times before. Makes a mockery of #METOO and all those people affected"
Others remarked on how the star stayed cool and calm when she delivered her apology.
One person wrote: "For someone who is so delicate and sensitive Roxanne was very calm, I would have thought she would have looked more nervous ???"
Another CBB fan said: "Roxanne should be a politician with the way she evaded the basic questions asked of her"
Speaking this morning, Roxanne told Jeremy: "In that moment - because I am sensitive and emotional - I mistook what was a playful act. He did apologise for it and say his ring caught me.
"It was the word deliberate I regret. I doubted his intention. There was no malicious intention behind that. That's what I apologise for. I shouldn't have questioned his motivation. I got it wrong."
Her accusations that Ryan was a "woman beater" prompted 11,215 complaints to Ofcom.
She was given the option to call the police, but decided not to.
It has also led to 20 of Roxanne's former Emmerdale co-stars to slam her behaviour.
These included Kelvin Fletcher (Andy Sugden) who described the actress as "evil, calculated and manipulative beyond belief".
Roxanne will appear on Celebrity Big Brother tonight and finally face host Emma Willis for her exit interview.
Last night, Big Brother confirmed that Hardeep Singh Koli and Jermaine Pennant had been nominated for a surprise eviction.
