Sam Attwater claims Roxanne Pallett accused him of punching her’

EastEnders star Sam Attwater has claimed Roxanne Pallett once punched him onstage, before accusing him of hitting her.  

The 35-year-old actress has sparked public outcry this week after accusing actor Ryan Thomas of ‘punching her six times in the ribs’ on Celebrity Big Brother.

And Sam, 32, has now claimed Roxanne did the same thing to her when they worked together on the Rocky Horror tour, branding her ‘dangerous’ and ‘not well’.

Allegations: EastEnders star Sam Attwater has claimed that Roxanne Pallett once punched him, before accusing him of hitting her while they worked on the Rocky Horror tour 

‘I can not wait for @bbuk tonight. Im so glad that Roxanne’s true personality is coming out,’ he wrote on Twitter on Friday. 

‘She did this to me on Rocky Horror tour. Except she hit me and ran off stage saying I’d hit her!’

He continued: ‘She’s not well and shouldn’t be in there. Anyone who has worked with her knows. #dangerous.’

MailOnline has contacted Roxanne’s representative for comment.

Roxanne broke down in tears after labelling Ryan a ‘woman beater’ and called on producers of the Channel 5 show to kick out the fellow soap star. 

But Sam accused her of putting on ‘crocodile tears’ and said he pities Ryan because the actor can’t ‘escape’ her.   

‘I feel incredibly sorry for @ryanjamesthomas that he can’t escape Roxanne. I was lucky enough to avoid her but he’s stuck in a house with her!’ he said. 

Allegations: Sam said he was 'so glad' that the Emmerdale star's 'true personality' is coming out

‘I’ve seen all these crocodile tears before. Good thing we are too strong to be beaten down. #GetRoxanneOut.’ 

Following Roxanne’s accusations, outraged viewers took to social media in defence of Thomas, tweeting broadcasting watchdog Ofcom with their complaints.

Many claimed Thomas, 35, was ‘obviously play fighting’ and ‘hardly touched her’ during the incident, which aired on Thursday.

Thomas’ girlfriend and reality TV star Lucy Mecklenburgh called for Pallett to be removed from the show, adding that she does not think she is in a ‘fit’ state of mind.

Others criticised Pallett for ‘belittling actual victims’ of domestic abuse and for a trying to ‘ruin’ Thomas’ career.

It comes after actor Connor Byrne also claimed Roxanne falsely accused him of violence when the pair starred in a pantomime together.

The Tracy Beaker star said the incident was a ‘carbon copy’ of the one that led Pallett to accuse fellow  Ryan of being a ‘wife beater’. 

Byrne called an incident with Pallett, which occurred when they appeared in Jack and the Beanstalk at the Ipswich Regent at Christmas, a ‘horrible moment in my life’.

Writing on Twitter in since-deleted posts, he said: ‘Sad to say, from what I’ve heard, I had a very similar experience with this lady last year.

‘I’ve not seen it, just had a colleague who witness my encounter where I was falsely accused of violence, contact me and share the event.

‘She doesn’t care about anyone or any consequence, only herself.’

After viewing the footage of the incident, Byrne added: ‘Carbon copy of my encounter. A horrible moment in my life.

‘But even more, a horrible blow to those who need to be believed. So much good can be undone by such solipsism.’
