RYAN Thomas's mum Gail has revealed she'll never forgive Roxanne Pallett for falsely accusing him of assaulting her.
Speaking to Phillip Schofield and Holly Willoughby on This Morning, distressed Gail said she was unable to watch her son in the house as it hurts too much seeing him upset.
She said: "I don't think I'll ever forgive her.
"I can't watch him crying or distressed. It makes me feel very distressed. It hurts.
"Lucy (Mecklenburgh, Ryan's girlfriend) has been speaking to the production team on my behalf.
"He's my baby. Whatever age they are, when they're in distress you want to reach out and give them a hug."
Ryan was given a formal warning by CBB after Roxanne claimed he punched her in the ribs with intent and labelled him a "woman beater".
The former Emmerdale star subsequently quit the house and offered a public apology yesterday admitting she got it very wrong.
But the apology has done little to put Gail at ease, and she claims Roxanne is getting too much air time.
She said: "She is also getting a lot of air time and I’d like Ryan to use his voice when he leaves."
Reflecting on the initial incident, Gail said: "I never dreamt the response from Roxanne.
"I could tell when he had that (formal warning) that he was going down at that point. I don't think he could believe it himself and that's when his morale started to go.
"I think it could have been dealt with a little more easier than her saying an accusation and him getting a formal warning and that was it.
"I don't know what the reason for that is.
"He was quite isolated because of the incident. The housemates just heard what she had told them. I felt like he didn't know where to go for help."
Gail told how Lucy will smother Ryan with hugs and kisses when he eventually comes out the house.
She said: "He's the godfather of the family. He's got an awful lot of support from family, friends the nation when he comes out plus his girlfriend who will absolutely smother him with kisses and hugs."
