Celebrity Big Brother star Ryan Thomas set to make millions after Roxanne Pallett punch row

CBB  star Ryan Thomas won Celebrity Big Brother last night — after the public backed him on his "punch" row.

His run-in with Roxanne Pallett had left him in tears and he was visibly shaking when he left the house.

But he saw off competition from US actress runner-up ­Kirstie Alley with Towie’s Dan Osborne third and rogue trader Nick Leeson in fourth.

Housemates reunited , though Roxanne, 35, was absent after falsely accusing Ryan, 34, of assault in the house.

Five years ago the actor was bankrupt. Now offers worth ­millions are being discussed, including drama roles.

Plus he has already pocketed a £500,000 fee for CBB.

A TV insider said: “It didn’t matter what happened in the final. Ryan was already the winner as  TV bosses  want  him, there have been several offers.”

Ryan refused to criticise actress Roxanne, who quit the show and admitted he didn’t punch her as she’d claimed.

He said: “I was a scared little boy. We all know how something like that can stick on a man.
