Listeners have called for a boycott following her 'punch' row with Ryan Thomas
CELEBRITY Big Brother fans have called for Roxanne Pallett 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 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”.
Earlier today Roxanne apologised on Jeremy Vine’s Channel Five show in her first big interview since quitting the show.
But many fans have taken the side of Ryan and blasted her when she denied being a “liar”.

Now Minster FM listeners are taking to Twitter to call for the radio station to drop the star.
One wrote: “Please can you do a public announcement & let your listeners know your intentions on the dismissal of Roxanne from . I used to listen to every morning but will NOT be listening if the vile Roxanne is back on the show. She’s a disgrace! ”
Another commented: “You need to announce that Roxanne is no longer associated with your radio station If you have an ounce of dignity, decency & credibility she’s been dismissed already, right?”
A third shared: “Boycotting until she is sacked.”
The Sun Online has contacted Minster FM who said they would not be making a comment at this time.
It comes as Roxanne was blasted by her former managers who have sided with Ryan in the “punch” row.
The actress was slammed by the agents who previously represented her following her accusations that the actor pummelled her with his fists during a play flight.
The ex-Emmerdale actress faced a huge backlash from viewers after she accused the housemate of physically assaulting her during a playful exchange in front of the cameras.
She was slammed by 20 of her former soap co-stars, as well as viewers and famous fans of the show, and now her former agents have blasted her online.
When they received a tweet asking if they still plan on representing Roxanne, a member of David Daly Associates insisted she’s no longer on their books.
The agent couldn’t resist taking a swipe at their former client.
They wrote: “We haven’t represented Miss Pallett for over a year. We recognise the person everyone is now seeing very well. Best wishes to Ryan and his family.”
