Ryan Thomas says he won’t meet up with Roxanne Pallett after she accused him of punching her ‘on purpose’ in Celebrity Big Brother house
RYAN Thomas won't meet up with Roxanne Pallett after she accused him of punching her in Celebrity Big Brother.
The ex-Corrie star has confirmed he won't confront the 35-year-old over her allegation that he jabbed her in the ribs in order to hurt her.
Ryan, 34, said he doesn't want to dwell on the past, and told Channel 5's The Jeremy Vine Show on Tuesday: "I think Roxanne has been through a lot.
"CBB makes headlines and sometimes for the wrong reasons.
"It's time we look forward. She's suffering enough. I don't want to be part of it.
"It's something looking forward that I don't want to dwell on...
"In that situation you want your friends and loved ones but the whole process it's tedious...
"There's no element of time and the boredom... everything is heightened.
"Nominations become a horrible thing because you end up having to b***h and I know it has to happen and everyone knows what they're doing in there."
On the possibility of meeting up with Roxanne, the actor, who has nine-year-old daughter Scarlett, added: "I don't want to think of the experience in a negative way.
"It's not to say I don't want to see her but no offence to Roxanne, but I have a daughter and I don't want to think about that now."
Ryan also admitted that he was bored a lot of the time in the house, and it made the experience harder.
He said: "You don't have any idea what's going on just in general, the whole show... (the punch row) is just a tiny bit of my journey.
Viewers expressed their anger over the punch incident with over 25,000 people complaining about the show.
The TV regulator has now confirmed to The Sun Online that they are looking at the incident.
An Ofcom spokesperson said: “We are assessing these complaints against our broadcasting rules, before deciding whether or not to investigate.”
