Ryan Thomas has said he is ready for his "next chapter" in the Celebrity Big Brother house after the Roxanne Pallett "punch" drama.

The Coronation Street actor was left in tears after Ms Pallett claimed he hurt her by punching her, which many viewers defended as merely play fighting.

Ms Pallett has now quit the show and Thomas, who had insisted there was no "malice" in what happened, said he is moving on.

In a clip shared ahead of Sunday night's episode of the Channel 5 show, he tells Big Brother in the Diary Room: "It's been a pretty miserable 24 hours.

"I don't know how things are perceived in the outside world, but... it's done now. It's time to move on, it's the next chapter.

"What a day we're going to have today."

Mr Thomas had earlier broken down in tears after Ms Pallett quit the show.

“I've done nothing, he said. "I don't understand how she can do this. I don't understand it.

“I've got to get this show back on the road now and I have to make amends, I don't feel like I'm the one making amends but I'll be the bigger person."
