Emma was praised by viewers for grilling the 35-year-old and for not letting her have an “easy ride”.

But during an appearance on Big Brother’s Bit On The Side after the main show was over, Emma said their meeting was tougher than it looked.

Speaking to Rylan Clark-Neal, Emma said: “It was hard, it was uncomfortable but that’s what was necessary. We’ve watched uncomfortable TV.”

Former housemate Ben Jardine then asked Emma if she believed she has interviewed the “real Roxanne” and the mum-of-three admitted she “wasn’t sure”.

But Rylan made his feelings crystal clear and shouted: “It’ll get me into trouble but I don’t think we did!”

Turning back to Emma, Rylan asked her how she had found speaking to Roxanne after everything that had happened.

She explained: “I feel a lot of what she said was a lot of what she said this morning [during her interview on The Jeremy Vine Show].

“I wanted more out of her. We talked for quite a while. We didn’t have time to put it all in.
