Chris Brown is finally speaking out about his relationship with Rihanna to Mirror Magazine.

In a searingly honest interview with the Mirror, he apologised for his actions in 2009, when he physically attacked Rihanna, leaving her shocked and bruised.

And Brown admitted that winning her love back had taken many months of tough “serious making up”.

He said: “Sometimes you row, you fight, with the one you love and things get said, stuff spirals.

“That night was the deepest regret of my life, the biggest mistake.

"But she loves me – what can I say? I’m forgiven… but, yes, I worked hard for it.” - Mirror
