Roxanne Pallett has confessed she can't sleep because of her 'Emmerdale' character's problems.
The 25-year-old beauty - who plays Jo Sugden, a victim of domestic violence, in the soap - has trouble sleeping because she is so involved in the storyline.
She said: "Her problems keep me awake at night. I've embraced this like a second skin. We've peeled away Jo's layers and shown how vulnerable a person can be behind all that bravado."
Despite her lack of sleep the star is grateful for being involved in a storyline which allows her to challenge her acting ability.
Her problems keep me awake at night. I've embraced this like a second skin. We've peeled away Jo's layers and shown how vulnerable a person can be behind all that bravado.
She revealed: "It's an honour to be given such an intense and serious story. Jo has grown so much over time and I really like the fact she isn't a one dimensional character - viewers have loved her and loathed her at different times."
However, Roxanne - who is leaving the soap in December - hopes her character will get a happy ending before her departure.
She said: "I'd love to restore her to full strength and give this story a positive conclusion. Jo's come a long way since we first met her - it's a true reflection of how complex people are."
