Roxanne Pallett’s ‘showdown with Hollywood actor Eric Roberts on The Island’ before quitting after five days
It seems like the actress' diva behaviour gets displayed on every show she appears on
ROXANNE Pallett had an epic showdown with Eric Roberts while filming Celebrity Island, according to a new report.
The former Emmerdale star – who quit the Celebrity Big Brother house last Friday after she accused Ryan Thomas of assaulting her – annoyed Eric, who’s the brother of actress Julia Roberts, and the pair had an argument, claims the Mail Online.
Eric, 62, reportedly confronted Roxanne – who quit the show after five days – when she insisted on wearing a bright pink bikini while everyone else had to wear camouflage.
In the upcoming scenes, Roxanne reportedly says: “I’ve turned into some Amazonian ninja woman, I just don’t care how I look any more.”
To which Eric replies: “Are you saying that to us or the camera?”
A source added: “The show couldn’t have come at a worse time. Now she’ll be seen being a drama queen again.”

Roxanne’s publicist had no comment when contacted by The Sun Online.
The actress called herself the “most hated girl in Britain” and admitted she’s “scared for the future” during an emotional interview with Emma Willis Monday as she addressed the fallout from her claim she was assaulted by Ryan Thomas.
A source exclusively told us: “Roxanne will turn her back on showbiz.
“She understands she’s upset many people and wants to step out of the spotlight to focus on herself.
The former Emmerdale star vomited after appearing on The Jeremy Vine Show earlier in the day as the stress of “punchgate” got to her.
It’s also been revealed she will not be returning to Emmerdale after she falsely accused Ryan of assaulting her.
The 35-year-old quit the house after hearing crowds booing her name and has faced a furious backlash from viewers and former co-stars who have sprung to Ryan’s defence.
Soap bosses have ruled out a returns for Roxanne in the Dales, despite a public apology during last night’s CBB.
A spokesman for Emmerdale said: “There are no plans, nor have there been, to bring back the character of Jo Sugden.”
Roxanne’s performances in the soap between 2005 and 2008 drew critical acclaim, and she was involved in a major domestic violence storyline.
Her tearful interview with Emma yesterday has been called “insincere” and a “publicity stunt” by viewers convinced she only did it for damage limitation.
Fans praised the show’s host for not holding back when she questioned the 35-year-old over the allegations.
Roxanne winced and started to cry after Emma challenged her on the statements she made against Ryan.
Emma, 42, said: “You could have ruined him”.
An emotional Roxanne replied: “It’s a lot to deal with. I’m the most hated girl in Britain right now.
“I am scared about the future… I just want to say I’m sorry.”
