Roxanne had called Ryan a 'woman beater' and told her other housemates he "assaulted" her, leaving Ryan in floods of tears and fearing his life was "in tatters" when he found out.
Tonight, in a pre-recorded interview, host Emma interviewed Roxanne about her behaviour and accusations, and didn't hold back with her questions.

While many felt Roxanne had been given an easy ride during an appearance on Jeremy Vine earlier today, they felt Emma really put the actress through the mill and not letting her get away with anything.
During the chat, Emma asked Roxanne if she realised she could have ended Ryan's career, told her how concerning it was that she had believed her own over-exaggerated story and asked if she thought she would still have a career in years to come.
