CHAT show host Lorraine Kelly has said Roxanne Pallett “clearly needs help” amid the Celebrity Big Brother “punch” drama.

She also said she doesn’t know how her career “can recover from that.”

Ex-Emmerdale actress Pallett, 35, quit the Channel 5 show at the weekend after claiming Corrie actor Ryan Thomas hurt her by punching her - which many viewers defended as play fighting.

TV personality Kelly, from Glasgow, spoke about the saga on her ITV show on Monday morning.

The 58-year-old said: “Do you know what, there’s something not right here. She clearly needs help.

“Nobody acts like that, if she, you know the great phrase, ‘has got issues’.

“She needs to sit down with someone and get her head straight, because there’s something awry there.”

“I just don’t see how her career can recover from that,” she added.

Kelly’s comments came hours before Pallett returned to Celebrity Big Brother for a belated exit interview, where she told host Emma Willis she had got the situation “massively wrong.”

“I’m the most hated girl in Britain right now, it’s a lot to deal with,” she said. “It’s the title I feel everyone has given me at the moment.

“All I can do is own it, accept it and apologise.”
