The Love Island star thanked the public for their support after his brother was accused of punching Roxanne on CBB
RYAN Thomas' brother Scott Thomas has asked Celebrity Big Brother fans to help him win the show after he was accused of punching Roxanne Pallett.
Love Island star Scott has thanked the public for supporting Ryan, who was seen crying in the diary room on Saturday - unaware that fans were backing him in the play fight row.
Speaking on chat show Lorraine today via a video link, he told viewers: "Hiya Lorraine, this is Scott, Ryan's brother, I just want to say a massive thank you for all your support for Ryan.
"It's been so so tough the last few days watching him go through what he's been through. It's been heartbreaking for the family.
"But we knew that he'd get through it, and yeah he's really shined the whole way through, how he's dealt with it like an absolute champion. We're so proud of him.
"We can't wait to see him smiling again, that crazy Thomas laugh. And, yeah, thank you so much to you and the rest of the nation for everyone's support. And Ryan for the win! Come on bro!"
On Thursday night's show, Ryan was given a formal warning after Roxanne accused him of punching her multiple times during a play fight.
The drama has continued to play out over the last few days, culminating in the former Emmerdale actress quitting the Big Brother house before issuing a grovelling public apology today.
Ryan was in floods of tears on Saturday night as he realised the full extent of what Roxanne had been claiming and sobbed that she was trying to ruin his life.
Scott and his twin brother Adam both took to social media to share their distress at the time.
Love Island star Scott wrote: "Actually got me in tears all this.
"So happy Ryan got to hear those chants then. I don't think i'll ever be able to forgive Roxanne for what she's done to my big brother...ever."
The brothers weren't the only ones to share their upset tonight, as Ryan's girlfriend Lucy Mecklenburgh also told her followers she was in tears at what her other half was going through in the house.
Roxanne's former Emmerdale co-stars have since turned on her on Twitter.
20 cast members past and present took to the social networking site to publicly give Ryan their support.
One of the first to share their thoughts was Charley Webb, who plays Debbie Dingle, who wrote: "It’s worrying that someone is allowed to say that about someone and they’re taking it seriously. We’ve just watched it and nothing happened. Outrageous. #BB"
