Roxanne Pallett's anti-violence campaign
The actress' character in the ITV soap - Jo Sugden - is currently the victim of domestic violence by her husband and
Roxanne herself has previously been in a violent relationship.
Both of these factors have spurred the 25 year-old into being the public face of the Refuge campaign, aimed at making women more aware of the techniques used by violent men to control them.
Roxanne says: "Portraying a victim of domestic violence has been the biggest challenge I have ever faced as an actress.
"Playing the role has taken a huge emotional toll on me, but it's nothing to the pain, fear and torment experienced by the thousands of women Refuge supports every day.
"I have no doubt this campaign will give strength to many women."
KNOWN FOR: Starring as man-thieving seductress Jo Stiles in of ITV soap Emmerdale.
THE XY FACTOR: In 2007 Roxanne was honoured with her very own rose called the "The Roxanne Pallett Rose" which is s a deep red coloured hybrid tea rose that has been created by an award-winning rose grower.
Emmerdale beauty Roxanne Pallett is finding it hard balancing filming the soap and training for Dancing On Ice.
The 25-year-old actress, who plays battered wife Jo Sugden in the Yorkshire-set soap, is working out for four hours a day ahead of her appearance on the TV talent show in January.
Pallett's tough daily workout has seen the actress get into shape after gaining weight earlier this year due to a thyroid problem.
