Ryan Thomas' girlfriend Lucy Mecklenburgh opens up about Roxanne Pallett drama
She wants to 'draw a line'
Last updated 10th Sep 2018
As the final of the last ever Celebrity Big Brother approaches this evening, favourite Ryan Thomas' girlfriend Lucy Mecklenburgh has opened up about the recent drama surrounding her boyfriend and former Emmerdale actress Roxanne Pallett.
In case you've been living under a rock for the last two weeks, Roxanne QUIT the Celebrity Big Brother house after accusing Ryan of 'punching her' during a play fight in the kitchen. After CBB bosses reviewed the footage and realised this was not the case, viewers took an instant dislike to Roxanne, with the actress dubbing herself as 'the most hated girl in Britain'. Things got worse for Roxanne when viewers called her apology 'fake' and over 20 of her former co-stars slammed her online, including Lucy Pargeter, Jason Gardiner and X Factor star Rhydian Roberts.
After watching her boyfriend break down in tears over the incident in the house, former TOWIE star Lucy Mecklenburgh expressed she though Roxanne wasn't 'mentally fit' to be in the house.
Now, as Roxanne's scenes aired on Channel 4 show Celebrity Island with Bear Grylls, Lucy, who herself appeared on the show with Ryan last year, has spoken about the incident in more detail, admitting she wants to "draw a line".
Check out the most explosive CBB arguments ever:
Gemma Collins and Tiffany Pollard
Gemma Collins and Tiffany Pollard struck up an unlikely friendship at the beginning of series 17, but things soon turned sour over 'Shoe Gate'.
After GC lent Tiffany her shoes and then took them back, Tiffany went crazy after Gemma accused her of 'knocking the stones out with her big feet".
The argument led to one of the most memorable diary room entries, when Tiffany went in hard on the former TOWIE star, calling her a 'fat c***'.
Jade Goody and Shilpa Shetty
It's still one of the most talked about CBB moments of all time, but Jade Goody and Shilpa Shetty's turbulent relationship all started over a chicken-stock cube!
Yes, that's right. Shilpa wasn't happy with Jade and the rest of the housemates for using all of the stock cubes up, despite them being the 'only object' she ordered on the shopping list.
Their disagreement continued throughout the whole series, with Channel 4 being forced to make a number of on-air apologies for showing 'racist footage'.
Kim Woodburn and Nicola McClean
When Kim Woodburn entered the CBB house in 2016, it was clear to see she had VERY strong opinions about things... which didn't always go down well with her fellow housemates.
After a few days, Nicola and Kim had an explosive argument in the bedroom with Kim calling Nic a "horrible, horrible girl", leaving Nicola in tears in the diary room.
Kim Woodburn and Jamie O'Hara
Following on from her argument with Nicola, Kim later continued her rant with former footballer Jamie O'Hara, with Jamie branding her a "bully".
Kim later got personal, shouting, "GO AWAY YOU ADULTERER", before swiftly being removed by security.
Jedward and Calum Best
Irish twins Jedward and Calum Best didn't exactly see eye to eye in the CBB house, but one of their explosive arguments will go down in the show's history.
When Jedward accidentally walked into the bathroom when Nicola McClean was getting changed, Calum tried to resolve the situation calmly... but he only made matters worse!
After John saw red and started to shout abuse at Nicola, Calum said, "Take some f** notes, you don't approach a woman like that. Grow up! F**k you yeah! I was your buddy and now I'm not. Be respectful."
Leslie Jordan and Gary Busey
Hollywood actor Gary Busey more or less had a disagreement with every single one of his housemates before he eventually won CBB in 2014.
But one of the most explosive in the series was when he had an argument with Leslie Jordan over what CGI stood for. While Gary said the G stood for 'graphics', Leslie was insistent it was short for 'generated'.
But this was just the start of their argument, with Leslie laying into Gary over his behaviour in the house.
Katie Hopkins and Alicia Douvall
When Alicia Douvall thought it would be a good idea to hide bananas from the rest of the house in 2015, Katie Hopkins called her out on it, saying, "That's not gonna work, babes. You can't be putting bananas aside. This isn't the war years."
Julie Goodyear and Coleen Nolan
Soap star Julie Goodyear and Loose Women's Coleen Nolan immediately took a disliking to each other when they entered the CBB house in 2012.
After a number of disagreements and Coleen calling Julie 'fake', Julie took offence when Coleen put a pie in her face during a task. She claimed, "You should have felt the impact of that pie in my f** face"
Jemma Lucy and Paul Dannan
Paul Danan completely lost it with reality star Jemma Lucy during the 2017 series of CBB, when Jem brought up Paul's past addictions and brought his son into it.
As Jemma insinuated she can 'handle her drink', Paul fumed, "Why are you going so f** low? What have I ever done to you?"
Leo Sayer and Big Brother
On the 2007 series of CBB, it wasn't the housemates arguing with each other that caused the drama, it was Australian housemate Leo Sayer breaking out of the house and having an explosive row with the Big Brother producers.
When he thought CBB bosses weren't supplying him with his clean underwear (which actually turned out to be in his suitcase), Leo broke out of the house and told the producers to f*** off on a number of occasions.
Luisa Zissman and Lionel Blair
Reality star Luisa Zissman and actor Lionel Blair had a MAJOR disagreement in the CBB house in 2014, over a box of chocolates!
When the pair couldn't resist temptation and ate the forbidden chocolates, Lionel seemed to blame it all on Luisa when the rest of the house received a punishment...leaving Luisa fuming.
Megan McKenna and John Partridge/Tiffany Pollard
Reality TV queen Megan McKenna provided one of the most iconic diary room moments in history following her explosive argument with John Partridge and Tiffany Pollard.
Megan lost it with the pair after a comment over house-cleanliness, before letting rip, repeatedly calling John and Tiffany the c-word.
Megan's diary room meltdown resulted in her being restrained by security and given a formal warning.
Chad Johnson and Sarah Harding
They left the show as a couple, but Chad Johnson and Sarah Harding had their fair share of arguments in the CBB house.
Their most explosive came when the former Girls Aloud star tried to give Chad advice about the 'showbiz world'. When Sarah's vocabulary got lost in translation, the discussion between the pair got heated.
Janice Dickinson and Jenna Jameson
When former supermodel Janice Dickinson helped herself to Jenna Jameson's Kosher food, Jenna tried to settle things on a friendly basis... but Janice wasn't having any of it.
The conversation quickly turned into an explosive row between the pair, with Jenna telling Janice to 'respect her religion'.
Speaking to OK Magazine, Lucy said, "I have my reservations about whether her apologies were genuine, but she's said what she needed to say and it can't have been easy for her to face the music like that.
"As long as she now gets the help she needs then I think it's time we all draw a line under it. The most important thing for me is that she never does this to anyone else.
"As long as she goes away and works on her problems I think she should be left alone and I think Ryan would agree."
Lucy will be hoping her man leaves the Celebrity Big Brother house victorious when the series comes to an end this evening (Monday 10th September). Ryan is in the final against Love Island's Gabby Allen, former TOWIE star Dan Osborne, Hollywood actress Kirstie Alley, Psychic Sally Morgan and broker Nick Leeson.
The Celebrity Big Brother final takes place on Channel 5 tonight at 9pm.
