Coronation Street actor Michael Le Vell told police "my legs went to jelly" after he was accused of child sex abuse.
The court has been hearing details of four interviews the star, who plays car mechanic Kevin Webster in the ITV soap, gave to police after his arrest.
When Le Vell was asked by an officer if he was responsible for raping the girl, he replied "no not at all".
After the actor was accused of rape by the alleged victim's mother, he told police: "When she told me you could have just blew me over. My legs just went to jelly.
"I don't know where these allegations have come from."
The 48-year-old continued: "I just said to the girl's mother, 'Please tell me you are f****** joking. Please, this has got to be a joke'. I was in total shock."
Later in the police interview the officer said Le Vell said: "This is a life changing thing. It will cost me my job."
Le Vell added: "I have not got a clue what to do about it. I am walking about in a daze. She (the alleged victim) has been a silly girl.
"That girl is seriously deluded ... She is telling a pack of lies."
During the interviews, he said the alleged victim's mother "thinks I am the devil reincarnated".
He also told police the girl's mother was "interested in dark spirits".
Le Vell is accused of 12 charges in all - five counts of rape, three of indecent assault, two counts of sexual activity with a child and two of causing a child to engage in sexual activity.
The alleged offences relate to one complainant and are said to have taken place between September 2002 and September 2010.
He is expected give evidence to the jury at Manchester Crown Court later today.
In the police interviews, Le Vell was also questioned about his drinking habits.
He told police he drank "too much" and had been drinking heavily for "best part of 30 years".
Earlier in the trial, the court heard Le Vell was alleged to have raped the girl while she clutched a teddy bear during one attack.
The girl, who cannot be named for legal reasons, wept as she told the court that Le Vell told her it was their "little secret".
But Le Vell told police: "I did not rape her and I certainly did not try to smother her."
The 48-year-old, who lives in Hale, Cheshire, is charged under his real name of Michael Turner.
He denies all the charges and has called the claims "an absolute pack of lies".
ITV has said he will not be appearing in any further episodes of Coronation Street pending the outcome of legal proceedings.
His trial before Judge Michael Henshell is scheduled to last around two weeks.
