What Exactly Happened Between Ryan Thomas & Roxanne Pallett?

Ryan Thomas' win at the 22nd season of Celebrity Big Brother in 2018 didn't come easy. The winning title came with a hefty price as he was accused by Roxanne Pallett - actress and colleague of the show - of harming her physically. Well, here's what happened.

During the episode that aired on 30th August 2018, viewers saw nothing unusual for a while. Roxanne was talking to another housemate Sally Morgan, but then Ryan jumped between the scene, making whooshing sounds and pretended to be a boxer by throwing punches in the air.

Also, throughout his senseless act from boredom during the moment, he made contact with her body, including the ribs.

Things quickly escalated after that as she accused him of causing her harm. Moreover, Roxanne complained to the producers through the microphone quoting,

"I've just been beaten up by Corrie's Jason Grimshaw. Ouch. Big Brother, that hurt."

On top of that, she pleaded the producers to remove Ryan from the show even after he had apologized. She received several backlashes from fans and even the victims of domestic violence, claiming she had overreacted.

However, the actress did apologize and confessed in retrospect that she had overreacted during that moment on the show. But, she did deal with several internal challenges such as contemplation of suicide following criticism from the viewers while Ryan took home the winning prize.
