Roxanne Pallett: I've put on 1st in the past year

Emmerdale actress says domestic abuse storyline has taken its toll

Wednesday, 8 October 2008

Roxanne Pallet has revealed that she's gone from a tiny size 6 to a dress size 10.

The Emmerdale actress, who has been single since splitting with Richard Fleeshman last year, says the break-up combined with filming emotionally draining scenes on the soap are responsible.

Roxanne, 25, who plays Jo Sugden in the ITV show, is at the centre of a harrowing domestic abuse storyline.

‘Instead of going home to my boyfriend I now go home to a tub of Ben & Jerry's ice cream,’ she says.

‘I'm working 12 hours a day doing emotionally draining scenes. To deal with it I've been treating myself to crisps or chocolate on set and puddings when I get home.'

But the actress is worried about the weight gain.

‘I'm not too bothered. A size 10 is hardly huge. But I'd like to lose it in the New Year so I can fit back into my clothes!’
