She claims he "punched her" in the ribs and was furious that he wasn't immediately removed from the house. He later received a formal warning and apologised.
After the show aired, Ryan's loved ones quickly took to social media to defend him.
Lucy took to Instagram to share a cosy snap of her and Ryan together with the caption, ""The kindest person I know."
She then shared a screenshot of OFCOM's website encoring her followers to complain and tweeted that she felt that Roxanne wasn't "mentally fit" enough to be in the house.
"Please RT or like if u want Roxanne removed. I don’t think she is mentally fit to be in the house. #cbb #getroxyout", she tweeted.

Celebrity Big Brother winners so far
