On the launch night of the current series of the long-running reality show, Roxanne warned she might “unravel” while inside the house.

In VT filmed before her entry, the former Emmerdale star explained that her friends had warned her not to lose control while under the surveillance of 24 hour cameras.
“I hope I bring a bit of sparkle and light to the house,” the 35-year-old soap star said – sounding upbeat.
However she quickly hinted that viewers might see a side of her that they might not like.
“I'm not going to put on an act so I can't promise that I'm going to be in high spirits if something kicks off,” she warned.

She then declared: “My friends have told me to try and hold it together, they said: 'Rox, just don't unravel' because they've all seen me unravel.”
She then warned: “and when I unravel... well, you'll see.”
Before entering the house, host Emma Willis asked Roxanne what she had meant by the comment.
“I think the best of us unravel, don't we? You've got to!” the soap actress exclaimed.

Emma then demanded to know what fans would see if Roxanne did indeed “unravel.”
“It's like when Disney goes wrong. That's all I'll say,” she laughed.
Perhaps Roxanne took Emma’s next words too literally as she suggested: “Get in their and unravel for me!” with the ex-Emmerdale star replying: “Ok!” as she bounced into the house.
CBB viewers would soon find themselves torn over Roxanne’s actions after she accused co-star Ryan Thomas of being violent when he punched her during a play fight.
