Roxanne Pallett is apparently impressed with her Emmerdale character’s current storyline..
Jo Sugden has become a victim of domestic violence following husband Andy’s release from prison.
“I have had people stop me in the street and we’ve had letters from women saying they now have the courage to do something about their own situations,” Roxanne told the Daily Star. “That is just unbelievable and I am so proud of what we have done at Emmerdale.
“Domestic abuse is not always about physical violence, it’s the mental control as well. Over the next few weeks, you’ll see Jo become a shell of her former self. Andy will be manipulative and slowly take away more of her self-esteem and self-worth.
“That is far more realistic than seeing someone beaten up all the time.”
Roxanne doesn’t have any such worries in her own private life.
The 25-year-old split from long-standing boyfriend Richard Fleeshman a few months ago and is now single.
