U.K. ‘Big Brother’ Star Makes Exaggerated Claim Of Domestic Violence After Play Fight

A former soap actress has left the U.K.’s “Celebrity Big Brother” house after tearfully claiming another housemate “punched” her “like a boxer would punch a bag.” Except footage of the incident shows her claims to be wildly exaggerated.

“He actually punched me like a boxer would punch a bag,” Roxanne Pallett said in the “diary room” after the incident. “And we weren’t play-fighting, there was no banter; it wasn’t a joke.”
