Pete Wicks opens up about the ‘issues’ Roxanne Pallett created on Celebrity Island with Bear Grylls

Former TOWIE star Pete Wicks has opened up about spending time on Celebrity Island with Bear Grylls, with this year's Celebrity Big Brother contestant Roxanne Pallett. Speaking on Jeremy Vine On 5, Pete was asked about his time on the show, which he shared with Roxanne before she left after just FIVE days!

Pete described Roxanne as an "interesting character" recounting an incident on the show with a camp fire, where there was a lot of smoke. According to Pete, the fire "reignited memories" from when she was younger, being trapped in a fire, going on to explain it was emotional for everyone. Watch a clip from the interview below.

Earlier this week, it was revealed that Roxanne would be appearing on Celebrity Island with Bear Grylls, which is set to air on Channel 4 this Sunday (9th September), but as viewers will discover she quit the show VERY quickly!

Roxanne recently branded herself the "most hated girl in Britain" after she accused Coronation Street star Ryan Thomas of 'punching' her in the Celebrity Big Brother house. Since deciding to leave the CBB house, Roxanne has been slammed by over 20 of her former Emmerdale co-stars, Dancing On Ice judge Jason Gardiner, X Factor star Rhydian Roberts and actress Lucy Pargeter.

Roxanne broke her silence on leaving Celebrity Big Brother on Jeremy Vine's show by apologising to Ryan, his mum Gail Waring, his girlfriend Lucy Mecklenburgh and his brothers Scott and Adam. A few days later a pre-recorded CBB exit interview with Roxanne Pallett aired.

Celebrity Island with Bear Grylls is set to air on Channel 4 on 9th September.
