Celebrity Big Brother housemate Roxanne Pallett has made a surprising revelation about TV presenter Piers Morgan.
The former Emmerdale actress said that Piers was one of a trio of famous men who have given her support in her career – and that it’s thanks to him that she decided to enter the CBB house.

She told The Sun: “Piers is my go-to for advice on work as he is brutally honest. If I sit on the fence about something he gives me the honest answer.”
When she was tossing up whether she’s accept a role on the reality show or not, it was Piers that persuaded her to say yes.
“When I asked him about doing Celebrity Big Brother, he just said ‘Go get ’em. This will be amusing’. He had the deciding vote.”
Roxanne has previously talked about how she’d like to see Piers follow in her reality footsteps. After she appeared on Dancing on Ice, she mentioned how much she’d like to see him on the ice.
But Piers didn’t seem to agree, tweeting “Sorry, @RoxannePallett – I don’t do sequins. 😂😂” in response.

The theme of this year’s Celebrity Big Brother is Eye of the Storm, with all the housemates having experienced a media storm in their past.
For ex-soap star Roxanne, it was her recent car crash.
She was airlifted to hospital in July after crashing a stock racing car into a concrete wall while filming a segment for her radio show.
Roxanne said in her CBB intro VT how cruel some of the comments she’d received were afterwards, from people mocking her injuries.
She was briefly knocked unconscious by the crash and sustained severe bruising and sprained wrists.
As well as Piers’ support as she enters the house, Roxanne has her fiancé Lee Walton in her corner.
Lee took to Instagram to express his support for Roxanne, saying “She’s in. The most beautiful, funniest, kindest, genuine person you’ll meet @roxannepallettofficial @bbuk #TeamRoxy”
Roxanne and Lee got engaged last December – just seven days after meeting for the first time. The pair had been chatting online for a while, and when they finally met face to face, they made it official almost immediately.
