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.

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.
