TV bosses took advantage of me and I looked ruthless, says Victoria Pendleton after tearful Rock The Boat appearance
thesun.co.ukVICTORIA Pendleton has told how she was edited to appear "ruthless" in Rock The Boat and the axed show made her more picky when choosing TV projects.
The two-time Olympic gold cyclist said she felt frustrated when the one-off series aired her clash with co-star Craig Charles.
Craig rounded on a visibly-upset Victoria after a difficult day of rowing from Land’s End to John O’Groats. The Corrie and Red Dwarf star had accused her of having a "toxic energy" after she objected to him missing a day at the oars, and a devastated Victoria was reduced to tears.
Her voice cracked as she walked away from the group, saying: "Literally that breaks my heart." Opening up about the gruelling show that left her feeling exposed, she told The Sun: "It's really hard to be taken advantage of publicly or privately, and that was really frustrating, really, really frustrating. "And also being edited to portray a character is also really frustrating, when you've got no control over it and I think I learned from my mistakes doing that." Viewers had watched the awkward scenes unfold and took sides, with Pendleton getting a heavier battering on Twitter.
