FUMING Celebrity Big Brother fans have urged host Emma Willis to “be brutal” with Roxanne Pallett tonight.
The Ex-Emmerdale actress walked out of the house after media regulator Ofcom received 11,215 complaints from viewers over her reaction to co-star Ryan Thomas allegedly punching her.
But the 35-year-old is returning on Monday night to be interviewed by Willis as she seeks to set the record straight amid growing public anger.

Pallett had claimed former Coronation Street actor Thomas had hurt her - and Thomas was even given a formal warning from Big Brother.
Thomas, 34, said there was no “malice” in his actions, with viewers arguing the incident was only play-fighting.

Pallett had initially told Big Brother she was upset by the altercation while in tears, and she asked to sleep in a separate bedroom.
Fans have bombarded the show’s bosses and Willis, 42, urging her to severely “grill” Pallett over her actions.

One fans said: “I feel for @EmmaWillis right now, people will end up so p***** off at her if she goes easy on Roxanne.”
Another added: “Does she actually have to go easy on her?”
“@EmmaWillis will naturally have to bite her tongue but I do hope she asks the right questions if u know what I mean,” was another comment.
@EmmaWillis @bbuk I am honestly dumbfounded that you are allowing an exit interview with Roxanne! She chose to leave amongst the web of lies, deceit and trauma she managed to cause and now to insult further Ryan and the many true cases of DV you are allowing her airtime #shameful

Just heard #Roxanne will be giving an interview to @EmmaWillis tonight on #CBB. Am I alone in that I don't want to hear of her ever again? I've heard her side, I've seen with my own eye the truth. Ryan deserves better. @BBUK please, let us just crack on. #CBBUK #CBBRyan

But will you let @emmawillis speak freely or will it all be scripted and pussy footing around Roxanne as you clearly did when she was on the house and let her get away with trying to ruin Ryans reputation? X

“Hope she doesn’t get an easy ride. She deserves everything she gets. Have not heard ONE positive thing said about her,” read another.
“One raging viewer added: “OMG!! I hope @EmmaWillis tears her a new one!!”
“You best be brutal with Roxanne,” another fan urged Willis.
Celebrity Big Brother continues on Channel 5 at 9pm.
