CELEBRITY Big Brother’s Roxanne Pallett has been dropped from her radio station breakfast show job.
The Emmerdale actress, 35, has been dismissed from her role presenting on Minster FM on weekdays at 6am just days after she quit the Channel Five show over the Ryan Thomas “punch” row.
According to the York-based radio station’s website, the star hosts the early-morning slot alongside Ben Fry.
It comes after Celebrity Big Brother fans earlier today called for Roxanne to be dropped from her breakfast show on Minster FM.
Listeners vowed not to listen to the York-based radio station when the 35-year-old former Emmerdale star is on after she quit the Channel Five show having accused Ryan Thomas of “punching” her.
Roxanne usually presents a breakfast show from 6am every weekday morning with co-host Ben Fry, but now viewers demanded Minster FM take her off air.
In the early hours of Saturday morning, Channel Five announced that the actress had left the house after the Corrie star insisted he had simply been “play fighting”.
