They also complained to Ofcom.

Celebrity Big Brother fans have called for Roxanne Pallett to be removed from the house after she accused Ryan Thomas of punching her last night [August 30].   The ex-Emmerdale actress accused her housemate of punching her "like a boxer" after the pair had been playfully sparring in the kitchen. Following the incident, she headed to the diary room, where she asked to speak to one of the producers about something "that's made me feel really uncomfortable." She added:

"I don’t want to talk about it on camera like this. "I’m just a little bit in shock. I went from being upset to angry now because a boy has punched me repeatedly, unprovoked, completely deliberate. He actually punched me like a boxer would punch a bag. "We weren’t play-fighting. It wasn’t banter, it wasn’t a joke. There was no exchange. I can’t believe you’re letting somebody stay that’s done that. It’s not okay."

Ryan was called in soon afterwards and given a formal warning by Big Brother for his "unacceptable behaviour". Meanwhile, Roxanne later refused to sleep in the same room as him and asked producers to remove him from the house. Viewers were baffled over what was going on in the house, with many of them defending the former Coronation Street actor. Others have begun to bombard the broadcasting watchdog with complaints over the episode, calling for Roxanne to be removed. https://twitter.com/fhunterjones/status/1035426999613968384 https://twitter.com/luma_cool/status/1035284385497534464 https://twitter.com/Kate91759672/status/1035330311171788800 https://twitter.com/ashleyfirth/status/1035281564408668160 https://twitter.com/jenren87/status/1035417763764940800 https://twitter.com/lollol5/status/1035436401561612288 https://twitter.com/ClaireMennie/status/1035297390474002433 https://twitter.com/rtleaky/status/1035286649708716032 https://twitter.com/CarlosTrantos/status/1035319694042050561
