Ryan has apologised for play fighting with the Emmerdale actress

In scenes aired in last night's CBB, ex-Emmerdale actress Roxanne Pallett lodged a complaint against housemate Ryan Thomas after she alleged that he "punched her" in the ribs.

After a Groundhog Day task, Roxanne and Ryan appeared to be play fighting in the living room and Ryan jokingly hit her in the ribs.

Roxanne said: "That bloody hurt”, before joking that she wouldn't do Ryan's washing anymore.

She then took herself away and spoke into her microphone to Big Brother, saying: "I've just been beaten up by Corrie's Jason Grimshaw. Big Brother that hurt."

The 35-year-old later shared her feelings in the day room, admitting that she had "gone from being upset, to angry."

Can you remember all of the CBB winners?

AS the only non-celebrity in the Celebrity Big Brother house it was perhaps inevitable that Chantelle would win. She went on to marry cast mate Samuel Preston from the Ordinary Boys and later had a baby with subsequent CBB winner Alex Reid.

Ryan Thomas: 2018

Former Corrie star Ryan Thomas was the final ever winner of CBB, despite MAJOR controversy in his series involving Roxanne Pallet.

Calling for Ryan to be removed from the house, she told Big Brother: "A boy has punched me repeatedly, unprovoked, completely deliberate. He actually punched me. Like a boxer would [strike] a back!

"We weren't play fighting. It wasn't banter. It wasn't a joke. There was no exchange.

"I can't believe you're letting someone stay who's done that. It's not okay!"

Ryan was then called to the diary room where he was given a formal warning.

He was accused of "unacceptable behaviour" and while Big Brother acknowledged that his intent was likely playful, he was warned that it was no excuse.

Accepting the warning, Ryan said: "From your point of view, yes [it's unacceptable].

"I think we both know, and Roxanne knows, that there was no malice or hurt or anger in anything that I did during this time.

"But from your point of view, while doing this show, I'm sorry and I understand."
