Celebrity Big Brother have reportedly signed up some pretty big names for this summer's series - including former Emmerdale actress, Roxanne Pallett.

This year's Celebrity Big Brother is shaping up to be a pretty major one already, with the likes of ex-Coronation Street actor Ryan Thomas, Katie Price's estranged husband Kieran Hayler and psychic Sally Morgan all rumoured to be heading in.

Ryan looked set to be receiving the biggest fee on this year's show, taking home a reported £500,000 for a stint in the CBB house - but another former soap star looks set to trump his fee in a last-minute signing.

According to the Daily Star, ex-Emmerdale actress Roxanne Pallett has signed up to the show just days before the line-up is due to be confirmed.

A source has told the publication that Roxanne, who played Jo Sugden on the soap for three years, has signed for a whopping £750,000, saying: "Bookers have wanted to sign Roxanne for a long time. They’ve finally got their way, but for a top-rate fee."

This comes only a couple of weeks after Roxanne was caught up in a horrific car crash whilst recording a segment for her radio show, hitting a wall at 40mph.

Firefighters spent two hours cutting her free from the wreckage before she was airlifted to Hull Royal Infirmary.

Thankfully, Roxanne was ok and appeared in an interview on Good Morning Britain, saying: "I respect the sport completely.

"I’ve got to also point out that sometimes injuries can be invisible. My head doesn’t feel right, I can barely stretch my ribs and back are so sore. There are people everyday walking around with injuries and disabilities that are invisible to the eye and people need to remember that."
