She was once one of the most popular soap actresses out there, but after she falsely accused Ryan Thomas of 'punching' her in the Celebrity Big Brother house, Roxanne Pallett called herself 'the most hated woman in Britain', and subsequently removed herself from the public eye.

But now, just days after she made a social media comeback to support Michael Jackson, Roxanne has posted an emotional message to her Instagram Story, admitting she's been receiving treatment for PTSD and anxiety.

She wrote, 'Thank you for all your messages from over the last few months whilst I was taking some time away & getting some long overdue therapy for PTSD, Panic Disorder & Anxiety.

'Your support during my darkest days have meant more to me than you could possibly know. I felt so alone & unwelcome in this world that I prayed for God to take me away, but somehow I pushed through.

'And part of that was because I was shown love, understanding & compassion. When I had no fight left in me, others were fighting for me. The strength from a kind message, a reassuring smile or a hug in the supermarket were all part of the rescue which helped me take a step forward.

'As anyone who battles mental health knows, it's a long road ahead. We are all human, we all make mistakes, we are all learning. Just trying to get through each day. I just wanted to say thank you.' sic

Following her controversial stint on Celebrity Big Brother in 2018, Roxanne wrote an apology letter to Ryan Thomas, who later admitted he would forgive the soap star.

Speaking in an interview after he was crowned the winner, the former Corrie actor said, “Forgiveness is a big thing so if she wants forgiveness and it makes her feel better than I would give her that. I think she’s been punished enough by the public.”

However, things then took another sour turn for Roxanne, as in January it was reported that her fiancé Lee had 'dumped her'.

According to Mail Online, a source told then that Roxanne's life appears to have "fallen apart in the past six months," adding, "professionally, no one wants to touch her" and that her personal life is "in tatters". They said, "She and Lee got very serious very quickly but it has ended completely. She is gutted."

Despite this, Roxanne or Lee are yet to confirm the rumours.
