Roxanne Pallet dumps Richard Fleeshman

Tuesday 9th October 2007

Beautiful Emmerdale star Roxanne Pallett has ended her relationship with Richard Fleeshman.

The actress, who plays Jo Stiles on the ITV soap, started dating former Corrie star Richard last year after they appeared on Soapstar Superstar together.

However, former Corrie star Fleeshman has recently been spending most of his time in London as he prepares to launch a singing career.

His schedule has left him with little free time to see Roxanne, who is based in Leeds where Emmerdale is filmed.

Roxanne is believed to have seen no future in the relationship and decided to give Richard the boot.

A source close to the Emmerdale star said:

"She is completely devastated by the split with Richard. With him being absorbed in his music career in London, she felt she had no option but to end things.

"She is heartbroken but trying to be strong. Her friends and family are all rallying round her."
