EX-EASTENDERS actor Sam Attwater has said Celebrity Big Brother star Roxanne Pallet is 'dangerous' following the 'punch' incident.
The actor, 32, who played Leon Small in the hit BBC soap, claims he faced a similar accusation of violence when he worked with the pint-sized actress.
The pair previously toured in a production of Rocky Horror Picture Show.
In a series of tweets, he said:
I can not wait for @bbuk tonight. Im so glad that Roxanne’s true personality is coming out. She did this to me on Rocky Horror tour. Except she hit me and ran off stage saying I’d hit her! She’s not well and shouldn’t be in there. Anyone who has worked with her knows.#dangerous

I feel incredibly sorry for @ryanjamesthomas that he can’t escape Roxanne. I was lucky enough to avoid her but he’s stuck in a house with her! I’ve seen all these crocodile tears before. Good thing we are too strong to be beaten down. #GetRoxanneOut

You will all be pleased to know that Roxanne has left the @bbuk house. That being said she snuck out the back door which is a shame as I wanted to see the @EmmaWillis interview. I wonder how she will twist this one. Scary thing is she will love the attention. #cbb #roxannesout

We previously revealed that former Emmerdale actress Roxanne's exit came after media regulator Ofcom received 11,215 complaints from viewers over her reaction to co-star Ryan Thomas allegedly punching her.
The 35-year-old had claimed that the former Coronation Street actor had hurt her in scenes shown on Thursday’s episode, and Thomas was given a formal warning from Big Brother.
Thomas, 34, said there was no “malice” in his actions, with some viewers arguing that the incident was only play-fighting.
Pallett had initially told Big Brother that she was upset by the altercation while in tears, and she asked to sleep in a separate bedroom.
