Roxanne Pallett strips down to a bikini for alfresco hot tub session

After two months of gruelling nightly performances, actress Roxanne Pallett is in need of some relaxing and recuperation.
However, the Emmerdale actress found pampering wasn't all fun and games as she stripped down to a bikini at an outdoor spa.
With temperatures hovering just above freezing, the soap star, 30, was horrified by the cold as she made a mad dash to get in the warm jacuzzi.

As she dipped her toes into the water, she found the contrast between hot water and the chilly outdoor temperatures rather difficult to adjust to.

But once she was submerged in the water, Roxanne started to unwind as she lay back in the tub.
Enjoying a relaxing afternoon at the Champneys Health Spa in Tring earlier this week, Roxanne stripped down to a blue bikini.

She was joined by her co-star Ben Forster from the touring 40th anniversary production of The Rocky Horror Show.
The pair have been performing at the Aylesbury Waterside Theatre this week, so popped along to the Champneys spa 10 miles away for some downtime in between performances.
Roxanne plays newlywed Janet Weiss opposite Ben as Brad in the production, which has been running since December.

Ben was feeling rather under the weather after weeks of touring and clearly enjoyed his spa sessions.
He tweeted last week: 'About to have a deep tissue massage in the beautiful Champneys spa.. Thank you for looking after us. Steam and jacuzzi after I think.'
As well as playing love interests in the musical, it appears Roxanne and Ben are getting on well off-stage too and have been photographed spending their free time together often in recent weeks.
