What has Lee said about Roxanne being in CBB?
Lee aid she was once threatened by Celebrity Big Brother housemate Ryan Thomas.
He claimed Ryan, 34 - who the ex Emmerdale actress has accused of punching her - attempted to intimidate Roxanne with a series of bullying phone calls over a dress she wore to the British Soap Awards ten years ago.
He told : "Roxanne said Ryan rang her and told her, 'Don't wear that dress tonight.' He was throwing his weight around. She was obviously p***ed off.
"Then when she was at the event, she says he came up to her and said to her again, 'I hope you haven't brought that dress and you're not going to wear it tonight.' Then added, 'Cos you know the consequences,' and walked off."
How did Lee Walton propose to Roxanne Pallett?
Lee proposed to Roxanne just one week after they first met - and she said yes!

But following Roxanne's harrowing stock car crash, Lee has since bought her a diamond ring - which she wears on her right hand to show off her tattoo.
About the whirlwind engagement, Roxanne said: “We were engaged within a week of meeting! I know it sounds crazy, but I knew my heart.”
