Ex-Dales star Pallett lands Pringles deal

Former Emmerdale star Roxanne Pallett has announced that she has signed an endorsement deal with Pringles.

The 26-year-old actress, who played Jo Sugden in the Yorkshire-based drama, confirmed that she will soon travel around the country to advertise the brand's Extreme range of snacks.

Speaking to the Manchester Evening News, Pallett revealed: "It's amazing for me, I couldn't do any endorsements while I was on Emmerdale.

"I'm a down to earth northern girl, I really wanted to do something different to the usual lingerie deals that other girls get. They chose me because they thought I was feisty."

She added: "I'm going on a UK tour for them in the next few weeks with our own Pringles Extreme team of girls - kind of like a gang of really tough Pussycat Dolls. There's a world champion arm wrestler and a girl with the 'keepy uppy' record."

Pallett quit Emmerdale in June 2008 after three years with the soap.
