Lucy Meck, who is the girlfriend of Celebrity Big Brother's Ryan Thomas, appeared on Victoria Derbyshire's show today to discuss the Roxanne Pallett 'punching' row. During the interview, she slammed the show's producers for 'fuelling' Roxanne's claims by giving him a warning and allowing her to sleep in a separate room.
Lucy, whose interview took place before Roxanne's tell-all interview on Jeremy Vine's show, said she was thankful that the play fight had been caught on camera, and added, "I think Big Brother fuelled it by giving him a warning and giving her special treatment by letting her sleep in a separate bedroom for the night."
"It's been really hard to watch for me and Ryan's family and friends. He's such a lovely guy and wouldn't hurt a fly," said Lucy.
"For him to go through thinking everyone on the outside thinks he's a woman beater has been really hard."
And speaking about Roxanne, she said, "She needs to get help. She play fights with Ben every single day. All of them do it in the house. She escalated it.
"What she's come out to... it's not going to be very nice," Lucy added, "But I want her to apologise to Ryan and really mean it."
