Roxanne Pallett has confessed she's delighted to be having a break from her Dancing On Ice training - so she can relax in front of the TV.

The former Emmerdale star was voted off the ITV talent show at the weekend, but is looking forward to a rest before the live tour.

She said: "You know what, I wasn't gutted, I felt like I had left on a high and the time was right and there were much better people than me so to leave on week eight was a real achievement for me.

"I was really chuffed to get to props week, I thought that was a real challenge and I got through it and I look back on my performance and I was really proud of myself, so onwards and upwards and looking forward to the tour now.

"I am so pleased that I get a rest week, I don't know what it feels like. The last time I had time off was before Christmas so I am gonna indulge and just kind of lie on the couch and catch up - I've got loads of Sky Plus things to watch."

The 26-year-old actress was attending the premiere of Marley And Me and revealed she is a huge fan of its star Owen Wilson.

Roxanne also said she now wants ex-Liberty X singer Jessica Taylor to win Dancing On Ice.

She said: "I am rooting for Jess, Jessica's a real girls' girl - she'd have been here now but she's training so I would love Jess to be in the final."
