Roxanne Pallett has been forced to leave the main Celebrity Big Brother house after an ‘altercation’ with Ryan Thomas .
The emotional actress broke down in tears in the Diary Room and asked to speak to a producer after calling him a "woman beater".
Roxanne claimed she was "punched" by the former Corrie star and was furious that he wasn’t removed from the house.
She asked to sleep in a separate bedroom because she was "suffering" and "didn’t feel comfortable" sleeping in the same room.
Big Brother gave Ryan a ‘formal warning’ after reviewing the footage and claimed that "while almost play fighting you punched Roxanne in the ribs".
Ryan came up up behind Roxanne while she carried some dirty clothes and appeared to hit her in the ribs.
"Ow – woman beater that bl***y hurt. I was going to ask if you wanted your washing done but I might shrink them instead.
She then headed into the bedroom, alone, and referenced his Corrie character: "I’ve just been beaten up by Jason Grimshaw."
Roxanne added: "Ow. Big Brother that hurt."
She then asked to be called to the Diary Room, where she asked to speak to a producer.
Roxanne asked: "Can I speak to a producer please. I need to speak to a member of production if that’s alright.

"I just need to talk to somebody from production about something that’s happened that’s made me feel really uncomfortable. I don’t want to go any further and talk about it on camera like this."
The next part of the chat was not shown to viewers and Roxanne then returned to the main house.
Later, Roxanne returned to the Diary Room after Big Brother had reviewed footage of the incident.
She said: "I’m just a little bit in shock. I went from being upset to angry now. A boy has punched me repeatedly, unprovoked, completely deliberate.
"He actually punched like a boxer would punch you. We weren’t play fighting. It wasn’t banter or a joke. There was no exchange.
"I can’t believe you’re letting somebody stay who’s done that. It’s not ok," she added before bursting into tears.
Ryan was given a first and last warning by Big Brother about his misconduct.
Big Brother told him: "At 3.55pm today while almost play fighting you punched Roxanne in the ribs. Whether you intended to hurt Roxanne or not is irrelevant. Ryan do you understand what you did is unacceptable?"
Ryan tried to defend his actions and seemed unaware that Roxanne had made a complaint.
He said: "I think we both know and Roxanne knows there was no malice or hurt or anger in anything I did at this time.
"From your point of view doing the show I do understand and apologise."
Later in the evening, Roxanne tried to go to sleep but seemed anxious and headed to the Diary Room.
"I don’t feel comfortable sleeping in the same room as Ryan. I can’t sleep," she told Big Brother.
Big Brother said: "Big Brother can arrange for you to stay in a spare bedroom."
Tearful Roxy confirmed that she did want to be separated from her fellow housemates by nodding her head.
She continued: "I’m now suffering and I’m having to alter my experience because somebody else was violent. I can’t believe you’re letting him stay here."
When BB told Roxanne they were "taking it seriously", she replied: "It has to be because it’s awful."
Big Brother added: "After reviewing the footage we can confirm you are safe."
She was then seen walking across the garden as her confused fellow housemates asked what was going on.
Roxanne did not reply and kept walking until she got to the spare bedroom.
It came after Ben Jardine shocked Roxanne by confessing that he loves her.
During a private conversation in the bedroom, Ben said: "I love you, you’re amazing, I’m sorry."
"Shhhh," she told Ben, who was half-naked and only wearing a towel around his waste.
The Married At First Sight star continued: "I don’t care any more, I thought today, I thought f*** it."
But Roxy, who has a fiance at home, did not seem happy about the declaration of love.
She said: "That’s hurt my feelings, that’s really disappointed me."
Hitting back, Ben replied: "It’s how I feel, f**k ’em; anyway, clean my eye."
Roxy then added: "I cant believe that you just said that."
"I’ll stay away from you," he threatened, which Roxanne agreed to.
He then stormed off in a huff, claiming that he had finally found his soulmate but can’t speak to her.
*Celebrity Big Brother continues on Friday night on Channel 5 at 9pm
