Following a play fight between the pair in the 'Celebrity Big Brother' house, Roxanne claimed she was "punched" by Ryan "like a boxer would punch a bag" and accused him of being a "woman beater" but Kelvin, who played her husband on 'Emmerdale' has taken to Twitter to show his support for Ryan.

He tweeted: "She. Is. Evil. #cbb. She's not 'mentally ill' or in need of 'help'. That denounces that people with actual mental health issues are as vindictive and menacing as her. They are not. There is a big difference. That was calculated and manipulative beyond belief. Ryan [love heart]."

He later tweeted and deleted: "But regardless of what she has done, she is still a human being and we all make mistakes. We don't need anymore Hate in the world. We all deserve opportunity for remorse and forgiveness."

Big Brother assured the former 'Emmerdale' star they were taking her comments "very seriously" and later warned Ryan about his "unacceptable behaviour."

He replied: "I think Roxanne knows there was no malice or anger."

And Kelvin is not the only star to defend Ryan, with his girlfriend encouraging people to campaign to have her removed from the house.

She wrote on Twitter: "Please RT or like if u want Roxanne removed. I don't think she is mentally fit to be in the house. #cbb (sic)"

'Emmerdale' star Danny Miller also slammed the actress, branding her a "horrible, attention-seeking little liar".

He wrote: "Roxanne's a known, compulsive liar. Ryan wouldn't harm a fly. Horrible, attention seeking little liar. Goes from being upset & in pain to dancing & drinking - to going bed, crying she can't sleep in the same room as Ryan, to worrying about being nominated?You be the judge (sic)"

Ryan's former 'Corrie' co-star Brooke Vincent tweeted: "I've just caught up on @CelebBigBrother I honestly can't believe what I have watched. @ryanjamesthomas Is like a brother to me and to see someone try and manipulate a situation towards him is so cruel , unnecessary and dangerous on so many levels!! TEAM RYAN ALWAYS (sic)"
