Roxanne Pallett is an English actress and television personality best known for her role in Emmerdale and appearances in reality TV shows like Celebrity Big Brother. In 2018, she was involved in a controversy on Celebrity Big Brother where she falsely accused fellow housemate Ryan Thomas of punching her during a play fight. The accusation was proven false by show security footage and led to significant backlash against her. She later publicly apologized for the false claim, calling it an overreaction to a non-malicious act. Since the incident, Roxanne Pallett has largely stepped back from the limelight. She relocated to the United States, married firefighter Jason Carrion in 2020, and had a son in 2021. She has also moved away from her acting and television career, choosing a more private life focused on her family. Her incident on Celebrity Big Brother, sometimes called "punchgate," remains a notable part of her public story, but she has since apologized and acknowledged her mistake.
