EastEnders actor Sam Attwater calls Roxanne Pallett ‘dangerous’ and says she previously accused him of hitting her during their Rocky Horror tour
The former EastEnders star had performed with Roxanne in the past where, he claims, an incident similar to the one between the actress and Ryan Thomas occurred
FORMER EastEnders star Sam Attwater has branded Celebrity Big Brother star Roxanne Pallett “dangerous” following the ‘punch’ incident between her and Ryan Thomas.
The 32-year-old actor – who played Leon Small on EastEnders in 2010 – says he faced a similar accusation of violence when he toured with 35-year-old Roxanne in a production of the Rocky Horror Picture Show.
Taking to Twitter to voice his claims, the actor said Roxanne accused him of punching her – before claiming she was the one who “hit him”.
“I can not wait for @bbuk tonight. Im so glad that Roxanne’s true personality is coming out,” he wrote on Twitter on Friday.
Revealing his story, he continued: “She did this to me on Rocky Horror tour. Except she hit me and ran off stage saying I’d hit her!”
He went on to claim: “She’s not well and shouldn’t be in there. Anyone who has worked with her knows.#dangerous.”
Sam then expressed his frustration that Ryan had no exit from Roxanne as they were held in the CBB house together.
“I feel incredibly sorry for @ryanjamesthomas that he can’t escape Roxanne. I was lucky enough to avoid her but he’s stuck in a house with her!” he wrote.
“I’ve seen all these crocodile tears before. Good thing we are too strong to be beaten down. #GetRoxanneOut,” he added.
Roxanne sensationally quit Celebrity Big Brother on Saturday – with a spokesperson confirming the news to The Sun Online.
They explained: “Roxanne has decided to leave the BB House. The remaining housemates have been informed.”
Roxanne’s decision to quit follows a growing backlash against her after she accused Ryan Thomas of punching her while they engaged in a play fight.
She had complained to Big Brother, requested the ex-Corrie star be removed from the house, and opted to sleep in a separate room from him.
However fans and stars have accused Roxanne of overreacting – while Ofcom has received over 11,000 complaints from viewers over the incident.
Following news that Roxanne had quit, Sam added he was both pleased and disappointed by her decision to walk.
“You will all be pleased to know that Roxanne has left the @bbuk house,” he wrote on Twitter on Saturday.
“That being said she snuck out the back door which is a shame as I wanted to see the @EmmaWillis interview. I wonder how she will twist this one. Scary thing is she will love the attention. #cbb #roxannesout,” he added.
