Roxanne Pallett is PREGNANT! Ex Emmerdale star, 38, expecting first child with husband Jason Carrion

Roxanne Pallett has revealed she’s expecting her first child with husband Jason Carrion.

In a new interview, the former Emmerdale star, 38, said she feels like ‘the ­luckiest woman in the world’ as she excitedly awaits the arrival of her baby this autumn.

Roxanne’s baby joy comes three years after her Celebrity Big Brother ‘punchgate’ controversy, in which she accused fellow housemate Ryan Thomas of viciously punching her on the arm. 

Speaking to The Mirror about the next chapter in her life, Roxanne said: ‘I now know what ‘happy ever after’ feels like.

‘To have such a beautiful life here and be blessed with the most incredible husband and our little baba on the way… my mum’s already knitting for England.

‘My husband is driving round at all hours getting me pizza and cookies. We’re in a bubble of excitement.’

The former actress wed firefighter Jason in January 2020, just 17 months after first meeting.

Back in March 2020, Roxanne reflected on the aftermath of the infamous ‘punch-gate’ furor she was involved in during CBB 2018 – when she wrongfully accused actor Ryan Thomas of maliciously hitting her – and how that led her to meet her now-husband Jason. 

Speaking to Closer magazine, Roxanne admitted she was almost ‘grateful’ for the drama as it led her to America where she met Jason, and explained that she can relate to the way Meghan Markle must feel. 

‘I never thought I’d be smiling again,’ she said. ‘I’ve met the love of my life and I feel mentally stronger. I truly believe all the negativity I went through pushed me to this point. 

‘In a way, I’m grateful for all that went wrong, even though it was brutal. It was worth all the heartache because now I’m living my best life.’
