'It was my biggest mistake but I'm forgiven': Chris Brown says he "worked hard" and now Rihanna loves him again

Rihanna’s boyfriend Chris Brown has described his vicious assault on the singer as the “greatest regret” of his life.

Speaking for the first time about their recent reconciliation, the US R&B star shrugged off the public backlash against him and pledged never to hurt the Bajan beauty again.

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.”
