"Former Emmerdale star Roxanne Pallett has claimed that being part of the acting world is more difficult than people realise. The 27-year-old, who played troubled Jo Sugden on the Yorkshire-based soap, is currently on the lookout for new projects after recently filming a one-off guest role on Casualty. Speaking to Bang Showbiz about her choice of career, Pallett commented: &amp;quot;It&amp;#039;s not as sugar-coated as some people think. It&amp;#039;s hard but I guess it&amp;#039;s what we all want to do.  &amp;quot;I&amp;#039;ve kind of been away for a few months and I&amp;#039;m a little bit nervous. You kind of have to go off and do your own thing so I&amp;#039;m kind of enjoying just being a jobbing actress. It&amp;#039;s a privilege.&amp;quot; The ex-Dancing On Ice contestant confirmed that she is likely to remain in the UK for the foreseeable future, but is also open to offers from the US. She said: &amp;quot;I&amp;#039;m a British girl, I&amp;#039;m probably going to give it a bit more of a chance here first as I want to give myself a chance to earn my stripes. But obviously, if something came along... that&amp;#039;s why I have no pets! So I don&amp;#039;t have any responsibilities if I had to go away.&amp;quot; "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
