Rise and Fall star Rishika says she was voted off by her fellow Rulers for the ‘wrong reason’.
The Sole Circle UK CEO was the third star to be kicked off the Channel 4 show.
Rishika and Marina both received two votes each at the time and it was James who got the deciding vote to send someone home.

Speaking about her exit from the show, Rishiki told Daily Star: “I feel like I was voted off for the wrong reason and I did everything I needed to do in the position of a Ruler.

“Being voted off not for the skills I brought to the table but for what seemed to be me being a threat, for me it was like I’d rather be voted out for that reason then be voted off because I was trash and didn’t know what I was doing.
“I played the role well, maybe a bit too well.”
During her time on the show, Rishika was seen clashing with her fellow Ruler Marina on more than one occasion.

Opening up about their drama, she explained: “To be honest, for me personally, she’s 18 and I feel like she has a lot to learn.
“That conversation was obviously much longer than what was aired.
“When you need to stop and not know to push a boundary I think it’s really important and regardless of me trying to hold her hand and console her and say ‘it wasn’t about you it’s fine but we’re good’, it was just this narrative that was being pushed that the whole situation was to do with something completely different then what I was telling her.

She continued: “I’m not the kind of person who likes to get up and walk away from a conversation because I find that quite rude but I was in a battle of do I allow this person to keep pushing a narrative until I agree with it or do i get up and walk away because it’s triggering me to the point where I am in a tug of war with my character.
“There’s no hard feelings because that Penthouse is an environment and a half.”

Rishika is now backing her pal Rachel to go all the way and win the prize fund but isn’t ruling out a return to the show.
“I’d go back in 100%, whether I went in as a Grafter or Ruler I would kill it,” she said.
“I would even do it exactly the same again because I was me through and through and I didn’t go in there as anything else.”
