Roxanne Pallett has been hit by a huge public backlash after accusing Ryan Thomas of punching her during a playfight.
But it’s not just perfect strangers that have bad things to say about the star – her old colleagues are criticising her too.
Roxy’s Emmerdale co-stars have taken to Twitter to lend their support to Coronation Street’s Ryan Thomas amid the scandal.
Cast members both past and present have publicly criticised the actress who played Jo Sugden on the ITV soap from 2005 to 2008.
One of the first to blast Roxy was Charley Webb, who plays Debbie Dingle.
She tweeted: "It’s worrying that someone is allowed to say that about someone and they’re taking it seriously. We’ve just watched it and nothing happened. Outrageous."
Later she added: "So, all of Roxanne’s social media has been deleted. Says a lot to me. I’ve woken up this morning even more furious for @ ryanjamesthomas and all the women who actually do suffer from abuse. It’s not normal behaviour and there needs to be consequences."
Sammy Winward, who plays Katie Sugden on the soap retweeted the jibe and added: "It’s been a long time coming."
Verity Rushworth, who played Donna Windsor, also threw her support behind Ryan.
She tweeted: "Karma’s a b***h… #CBB #Ryantowin."
Adele Silva, who played Kelly Windsor, also referenced karma in her post.
"Sometimes it takes a long long time to wait for karma or to see what someone’s really capable of – unfortunately good people get caught up in it …" she tweeted.
Roxanne ‘s former on-screen husband has slammed her "evil" behaviour.
Kelvin Fletcher, who played Andy Sugden, husband of Roxanne’s Jo in Emmerdale for years, took to Twitter to lash out at the things she’s said about Ryan Thomas in the Celebrity Big Brother house.
After Roxanne accused former Corrie star Ryan of hitting her "like a boxer" and turned her fellow housemates against him, Kelvin had his say on Twitter.
Referencing Roxanne, he wrote: "She. Is. Evil. #cbb"
Sally Ann Matthews, who played Sandra Briggs in Emmerdale before returning to Coronation Street as Jenny Bradley, also had something to say as she responded to a video clip of Roxy in CBB.
She tweeted: "The truth will out x"
Danny Miller, who plays Aaron Dingle, tweeted: "Roxanne’s a known, compulsive liar. Ryan wouldn’t harm a fly. Horrible, attention seeking little liar. Goes from being upset & in pain to dancing & drinking – to going bed, crying she can’t sleep in the same room as Ryan, to worrying about being nominated? You be the judge."
Sue Jenkins, who played Bonnie Drinkwater, posted: "One of the nicest men on the planet! @ryanjamesthomas"
Victoria Hawkins, who played Sharon Lambert, tweeted: "#CBB Roxanne P, still a pathological liar and attention seeking nob I see."
Michael Keogh, who played Charlie Sellers, got everything off his chest with five tweets about the situation.
He tweeted: "I AM disgusted, appalled & completely sickened by the despicable & covert behaviour of @RoxannePallett.
"We all have a responsibility to expose lies & manipulative individuals.
"Having worked with her 10 yrs ago her behaviour is consistent & there is a pattern to it.
"She needs to be held accountable for her actions/behaviour."
Sam Kane, who played Nick Barrie, added: "#CBB Shame On You! #roxannepallettSeriously. WT actual F. #RyanThomas is a great human being. Stand Strong mate. I abhor this kind of horrible bullying through lies and attention seeking. It’s beyond horrendous. The truth will out. #domesticabuse is being trivialised.
Nicola Stapleton, who played Danielle Hutch, tweeted: "Stuck on a delayed plane on the runway! Thanks to #britishairways …tho was a lovely holiday and just seen all this #CBBRyan he’s honestly one of the nicest fellas I’ve met .. poor lad .. totally undeserved.. shocking and foul behaviour x"
Mathew Bose, who played Paul Lambert, posted: "I know I’m not alone glad to see karma finally striking back. Shame so many innocents hurt along the way."
Amelia Sefton, who played Penny Drury, tweeted: "How can you allow such strong incorrect allegations to be passed by? #CBBUK shocking!"
Hayley Tamaddon, who played Delilah Dingle, tweeted: "I’ve known @ryanjamesthomas quite a few years. He is genuinely one the kindest, warmest, funniest, happiest fellas I’ve met."
Kerry Stacey, who played Toni Daggert, posted: "I’ve had many nights out and attended Charity engagements with @ryanjamesthomas – always kind, thoughtful and a true gentleman! This breaks my heart! Hang in there – we see you Ryan"
Daniel Brocklebank, who played Ivan Jones, tweeted: "Finally the general public are privy to what those of us that were unfortunate enough to work with her in the past already knew. PS: @ryanjamesthomas is a lovely chap.#karma #CBB"
Lyn Paul, who plays Freda Danby posted: "So Roxanne Has left the big brother house.. bloody good riddance and I now hope @cbb producers do the right thing and show the house the footage that has caused @ryanjamesthomas to be unjustly accused of assault!"
And Lucy Parge, who plays Chas Dingle, added: "Sad but true and some mag will pay her a fortune for her side of the story."
Former Coronation Street actor Chris Bisson, who plays Jai Sharma in Emmerdale, tweeted: "So Roxanne has left the building Been exposed & now walked. No doubt, to dodge the embarrassment of being evicted followed by the utter humiliation of being interviewed by @EmmaWillis Good riddance #cbb Stay strong @ryanjamesthomas we love you bro."
Benidorm star Sherrie Hewson, who played Lesley Meredith on Emmerdale from 2004 to 2006, tweeted: "Omg the whole Roxanne Pallette thing is horrendous she is dreadful ! So angry she is allowed to get away with this s**t !!!! @BigBrothertwUK."
