roxanne pallett wiki : Roxanne Pallett (born 26 December 1982) is an English actress best known for playing the role of Jo Sugden in the ITV soap opera Emmerdale from 2005 to 2008. She was crowned the winner of Celebrity Stars in Their Eyes (2006), and also appeared in Soapstar Superstar (2006) and Dancing on Ice (2009). She has won critical acclaim for numerous stage roles in theatre and is known as a scream queen for appearances in several horror films, including Lake Placid 3 (2010), Wrong Turn 6: Last Resort (2014) and Devil's Tower (2014), and the art-house film Habit (2016).
She played the role of a teenager in the BBC drama Waterloo Road when she was 29.
On 16 August 2018, Pallett participated in the UK Television show Celebrity Big Brother as a celebrity housemate.
Pallett was born in Carlisle, Cumbria and brought up in Currock by her mother and grandmother. Her maternal grandfather was Italian and her absent father is Iranian.Her father abandoned her mother Monica when Roxanne was a few days old and has never been a part of her life. She lost her home in a serious house fire age 16. Several months later, her grandmother, who raised her, died of cancer. Educated at Robert Ferguson Primary School and Trinity School, she then graduated with a BA Honours degree in Media, majoring in Film Studies, from Liverpool John Moores University. Pallett studied at the Manchester School of Screen Acting on weekends, and began auditioning for acting roles outside her studies to make up for not going to stage school.
In July 2018, whilst doing a segment for Minster FM with co-host Ben Fry, Pallett was involved in an accident whilst driving an F2 Outlaw Stock Car at Hunmanby Raceway, North Yorkshire. Pallett had driven head on into a concrete wall on the first bend at high speed, and had to be cut free from the mangled wreckage by firefighters which took two hours. Pallett was then airlifted to hospital by air ambulance with two sprained wrists, severe bruising and concussion.
In August 2018, while filming Celebrity Big Brother 22, Pallett falsely accused fellow housemate Ryan Thomas of "punching" her during a play fight, resulting in her leaving the house days later. Since leaving the house, she admitted on the first ever episode of Channel 5's Jeremy Vine on 3rd September 2018 that she "overreacted" to the situation, then apologising to Ryan on television.She then admitted in her Celebrity Big Brother exit interview with Emma Willis that she thought she was "the most hated girl in Britain". Since the footage was shown, more actors who have worked with Pallett in the past, including Connor Byrne of The Story of Tracy Beaker fame, have come forward with similar issues.
In 2007, Rosa Roxanne Pallett, a deep red hybrid rose, was named after Pallett and launched at the 2007 Southport Flower Show by Cheshire-based grower C&K Jones.
