Roxanne Pallett's fiancé Lee 'has dumped her' after CBB 'Punchgate' controversy
Things aren't looking good for the former Emmerdale star
Author: Emma DoddsPublished 25th Jan 2019
Former Emmerdale actress Roxanne Pallett has probably had the worst year of her life. After taking part on the last ever series of Celebrity Big Brother last year, during which time she was at the centre of some very controversial drama, she's been practically shunned by the public and has effectively gone into hiding.
Of course, we all know what happened during her time in the CBB house - she made out as if fellow housemate and former Coronation Street actor Ryan Thomas had punched her with the intent to harm her.
Since leaving the show, she's barely been seen out in public, having reportedly lost her radio job and also a role in Pantomime last Christmas - and now there have been reports that her relationship is also over as a result of what happened.
According to the MailOnline, a source close to the star has revealed that things are now over between Roxanne and her steel worker fiancé Lee Walton, who has "dumped" her.

Roxanne Pallett's fiancé Lee 'has dumped her' after CBB 'Punchgate' controversy
2 of 11
Lee Ryan and Jasmine Waltz/Casey Bachelor
The 2014 series of CBB brought with it one of the cringiest love-triangles to date, between Blue singer Lee Ryan, Jasmine Waltz and Casey Bachelor.
Lee started off by getting to know Casey, before declaring his 'love' for Jasmine. But when the America model was evicted, Lee jumped back into bed with Casey (leaving viewers fuming).
CBB bosses then created MASSIVE drama when they put Jasmine back into the house, resulting in a huge argument between the pair.
Despite this, Lee and Jasmine started a relationship and even appeared on the front of a magazine, but things didn't last long when Jasmine accused him of 'cheating'.

Stephanie Davis and Jeremy McConnell
Perhaps the most memorable CBB romance EVER!
Despite entering the house with a boyfriend (Sam Reece), Hollyoaks star Stephanie Davis took an instant liking to Jeremy McConnell, with the pair leaving the house as an official couple.
They endured one of the most on/off relationships in the showbiz land, before welcoming their son Caben-Albi George into the world in January 2017 (with Jez doing a paternity test on live TV).
Things later took a sour turn, with a number of legal proceedings between the pair. They have now split for good, with Stephanie set to return to Hollyoaks in the coming months.
Sarah Harding and Chad Johnson
Nobody saw a romance between former Girls Aloud star Sarah Harding and The Bachelorette's Chad Johnson coming in 2017.
But after Chad and Sarah racked up a cute friendship, things soon turned into a romance in the house, with the pair getting cosy on a number of occasions.
They remained together for a number of weeks after the show ended, but with Chad living in America and Sarah in the UK, things didn't work out.
Chantelle Houghton and Preston
Ordinary Boys singer Preston immediately fell for 'fake celebrity' Chantelle Houghton in 2006.
Just three months after leaving the CBB house, the pair announced their engagement, with the wedding taking place the following August.
However, in June 2007 (less than a year later) Chantelle and Preson got a divorce, but the pair have remained friends!
Stephen Bear and Chloe Khan
Despite dating Lillie Lexie Greg at the time, Bear didn't let that stop him getting cosy with Chloe Khan during the 2016 series, with their fellow housemates complaining at their raunchy behaviour.
Although Lillie entered the house to confront Bear, that didn't stop Chloe waiting for him when he left the house as champion.
Despite their whirlwind romance, things soon ended between the pair, with Bear now dating model Ellie O'Donnell.
Basshunter and Katia Ivanova
Katia actually had a boyfriend on the outside, but her head was turned when she met Basshunter, real name Jonas Erik Altberg.
Despite the pair enjoying some time together in the house, Katia ended things on the show, calling the DJ 'too clingy'.
Marnie Simpson and Lewis Bloor
Geordie Shore's Marnie Simpson and TOWIE's Lewis Bloor had an instant connection when they appeared on the 2016 series of CBB.
Things seemed to be going well for the couple when they left the house, with the pair even moving in together. But it all ended in tears when it was revealed that Lewis had cheated on Marnie twice!
Megan McKenna and Scotty T
Despite Stephanie and Jeremy's relationship taking up more or less the whole series in 2016, TOWIE's Megan McKenna and Geordie Shore's Scotty T also got VERY cosy.
The reality pair enjoyed a number of steamy kisses in the house, but things didn't go to plan on the outside, with Scotty T blaming distance as the reason for their split.
Kerry Katona and Lucien Laviscount
Another CBB romance NOBODY saw coming was between Kerry Katona and former Waterloo Road star Lucien Laviscount in 2011.
Kerry and Lucien seemed very loved-up in the house, sharing a number of cuddles and kisses, but things didn't work out due to their 11-year age difference on the outside world.
Edele Lynch and George Gilbey
After originally trying it on with The Hills star Stephanie Pratt, Gogglebox's George Gilbey ended up in a relationship with B*Witched singer Edele Lynch.
The pair even ended up going on a caravan holiday together, but things quickly ended and George now has a child with another woman.
Lee Ryan and Jasmine Waltz/Casey Bachelor
The 2014 series of CBB brought with it one of the cringiest love-triangles to date, between Blue singer Lee Ryan, Jasmine Waltz and Casey Bachelor.
Lee started off by getting to know Casey, before declaring his 'love' for Jasmine. But when the America model was evicted, Lee jumped back into bed with Casey (leaving viewers fuming).

Despite this, Lee and Jasmine started a relationship and even appeared on the front of a magazine, but things didn't last long when Jasmine accused him of 'cheating'.
Apparently, they said 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."
Roxanne and Lee met in 2017 after speaking online, and after meeting face-to-face in the December, they became engaged just one week later, with her saying at the time, "When I walked into the pub and saw him I thought, oh my God, you’re real. I just flung my arms around him and it was like we’d been together forever. We were kissing within five minutes!"
Aspersions were cast over the state of Roxanne's relationship even during her time in the house, as she developed a very close friendship with former Married At First Sight star Ben Jardine, who declared his love for Roxanne on the show.
