Celebrity Big Brother star Ryan Thomas has told fellow housemate Sally Morgan that he “never means any harm” as the two had a heart-to-heart regarding Roxanne Pallett.

The former Coronation Street star was accused of being violent by Pallett who alleges he “punched” her in the ribs while attempting to play fight.

As a result, Thomas was formally warned by Big Brother and Pallett slept in another room, claiming she “didn’t feel safe”.

In scenes to be shown on Friday evening, Thomas discussed the incident with TV psychic Morgan explaining that it “made [me] not want to be here” when he spoke to Big Brother regarding what happened.

He told her: “They have to talk a certain way to you. But like, when it’s [Big Brother] mean to me and telling me what it was about, it was so minute [that] it makes me not want to be here.

“When they see me they know I’m not a bad person. I’m not causing anybody any harm in here.

“And when they pick up on something that’s nothing that then turns into something massive…I’m a soft guy, I don’t ever mean any harm to anyone.”

Meanwhile, Pallett pulls Ben Jardine aside to tell him about what happened during Thursday night’s episode, telling him that it “really hurt”.

The incident sparked 11,000 complaints to Ofcom after Pallett accused Thomas of being a “woman beater”. Viewers called for Pallett to be removed for “slandering” Thomas.

Celebrity Big Brother airs Friday at 9pm on Channel 5 with the third live eviction.
