Emmerdale star Roxanne Pallett collapses

Richard Fleeshman's ex keels over at work

Richard Fleeshman's ex Roxanne Pallett has collapsed on set.

The actress, 24, was taken to hospital after passing out while filming ITV soap Emmerdale.

Roxy – who plays Jo Stiles – had extensive tests before being given the all clear. She returned to work yesterday.

But pals say the break-up of her 2-year relationship with heart-throb Richard, 18, has taken its toll on her.

Roxanne dumped the teenager because with their busy schedules they hardly had time to see each other – but it seems she's regretting her decision now.

'They were such a great couple,' a source tells the Daily Star. 'But Richard is really driven and is spending all his time on his music. He hardly ever saw Roxy and they were arguing.

'She's putting on a brave face and trying to say it has not affected her but any break-up is bound to leave you super-stressed.'

Roxanne insists she's in good health.

'I fainted, that's all,' she says. 'They kept me in hospital but I'm OK now.'
