Pallett: 'I still watch Emmerdale'

Former Emmerdale star Roxanne Pallett has revealed that she still tunes into the soap to see her friends Suzanne Shaw and Charlotte Bellamy.

The actress, who played Jo Sugden on the Yorkshire-based drama, confirmed that she makes sure to watch the programme when she knows that the pair's characters Eve Jenson and Laurel Thomas will feature prominently.

Speaking to Bang Showbiz about keeping up with the show, Pallett confirmed: "When a mate is involved in a gripping storyline, I do. I watched when Suzanne Shaw arrived in the village. Suzanne and I worked together on Dancing On Ice and became good friends.

"I also try to tune in when I know Charlotte Bellamy is involved in something big. She's such a brilliant actress."

Pallett also confirmed that a return to Emmerdale is not currently on the cards because she wants to continue trying new things.

She said: "Oh, you know, I said when I left that I wouldn't go back until I'd earned my acting stripes. I don't feel I have yet."
