Pallett was born in Carlisle, Cumbria and brought up in Currock by her mother and grandmother. Her maternal grandfather was Italian and her absent father is Iranian. Her father abandoned her mother Monica when Roxanne was a few days old and has never been a part of her life. She lost her home in a serious house fire age 16. Several months later, her grandmother, who raised her, died of cancer. Educated at Robert Ferguson Primary School and Trinity School, she then graduated with a BA Honours degree in Media, majoring in Film Studies, from Liverpool John Moores University. Pallett studied at the Manchester School of Screen Acting on weekends, and began auditioning for acting roles outside her studies to make up for not going to stage school.
