Adele Silva, who played Kelly Windsor in Emmerdale between 1993 and 2011, said that Roxanne Pallett's behavior “rang alarm bells” on the soap set
She joins an ever growing list of people speaking out against Roxanne, who accused fellow Celebrity Big Brother star Ryan Thomas of deliberately punching her last week, causing uproar across the nation.
Speaking to FUBAR Radio, Adele said: “Sometimes when people come in and they don’t behave like they should, and that many people are speaking about it, then obviously it kind of rings alarm bells.”
For Adele, who after the punches thrown in this interview should consider professional boxing, it was “baffling” why someone who has a bad reputation, has been fired from jobs, and has, on multiple occasions, been accused of bullying, continues to be employed again and again. Fair point, Adele, fair point.
She also tweeted: “Sometimes it takes a long time to wait for karma or to see what someone’s really capable of- unfortunately good people get caught up in it…”
“I think when 20 plus people speak out about a certain person and they’re proabbly not that vocal on twitter anyway then… there’s no smoke without fire,” she added.

WATCH: India Willoughby reveals the CBB secrets producers don't want you to know
However, Adele said that she didn’t think this would be the end of it.
Roxanne left the CBB house voluntarily, later saying that she was “wrong” about her claims that Ryan had deliberately hurt her and branding him a “woman beater” during her time in the house.
She has been on the receiving end of nationwide condemnation, including a grilling from Celebrity Big Brother host Emma Willis, during which she called herself “the most hated woman in Britain.”
Ofcom received more than 11,000 complaints over her behaviour, with many people saying Roxanne’s claims undermine and set back the work that domestic abuse charities are doing.
Adele’s brutal comments aren’t the only savagery that Roxanne has received following this whole affair. She even had her Wikipedia page hacked to say that her career ended in 2018 - although that’s probably not far off the truth, really.
