Roxanne Pallett has stepped down from her Christmas pantomime role after confirming she will not return to her breakfast radio job.
A spokesperson for the Celebrity Big Brother star has said Roxanne, 35, is taking a break from showbiz for an unspecified period of time.
The former Emmerdale actress has dominated headlines in the last few days after controversially accusing Big Brother housemate Ryan Thomas of punching her.

After quitting the show on Friday night and viewing the footage, she issued a public apology to Ryan, admitting she had “got it wrong”.
Her representative told The Sun: “We and Roxanne have decided today that she will be stepping down from her position at Minster FM, and from her upcoming role as Cinderella in Chesterfield.”
The statement concluded: “Roxanne will not be undertaking any more media interviews and will now be taking some time away.”
Roxanne had been due to appear in Chesterfield’s festive pantomime Cinderella alongside X Factor’s Rhydian Roberts.
A statement from the pantomime’s producers confirmed: “Roxanne Pallett has today decided to step down from her upcoming role as Cinderella in Chesterfield, in order to take some time out and reflect on recent events. We wish Roxanne the best and will be announcing her replacement in due course.”

The station said: “As a result of discussions today with her representatives, Minster FM can confirm that Roxanne Pallett has stepped down from her position at the station with immediate effect to take some time out and reflect on recent events.
