Celebrity Big Brother’s Roxanne Pallett got engaged ONE week after meeting boyfriend Lee Walton in a pub
Former Emmerdale actress said she had no reservations when her steel worker boyfriend proposed just seven days after they met
CELEBRITY Big Brother’s Roxanne Pallett has revealed she got engaged to her boyfriend Lee Walton just seven days after meeting him.
The 36-year-old actress said people thought she was “crazy” after she said yes to the 40-year-old steel worker when he got down on one knee.
Former Emmerdale star Roxanne explained Lee proposed while she was getting ready for a night out and because he didn’t have a ring, they had matching tattoos on their ring fingers.
He’s now saved up for a big sparkler and she beamed as she proudly showed it off in their first photoshoot as a couple.
Roxanne also explained she chose to wear the sparkler on her right hand so she could always look at the inking on her left.
She told : “We were engaged within a week of meeting! I know it sounds crazy, but I knew my heart.”
Lee admitted he’d followed Roxanne’s career and had always fancied her so when he met her he thought it was his lucky day.
The pair met in their local pub and were “kissing within five minutes of meeting”.
Roxanne added: “I just flung my arms around him and it was like we’d been together forever.”
The pair, who posed up in wedding gear at Friends Fest last month, will start planning their wedding once Roxanne leaves the Celebrity Big Brother house.
