Roxanne Pallett 'dating' footballer Peter Murphy

London, February 17 (ANI): Actress Roxanne Pallett is reportedly romancing Carlisle United defender Peter Murphy.

The 26-year-old, most famous for playing the role of Jo Sugden in the soap opera 'Emmerdale', was said to be "chuffed to bits" with the Irishman, who apparently came down to London to spend the Valentine weekend with her.

The Dancing On Ice star was purportedly trying to shield her new romance to focus on winning the skate show.

"She's kissed a lot of frogs, so let's hope that this one is her prince," the Daily Star quoted one of her pals as saying.

"He seems like a good one and she's chuffed to bits with how things are going. We are really happy for her," the pal added. (ANI)
