Ryan Thomas mortified as his shorts split open to show his bare bum after victory on The Games

RYAN Thomas was left red-faced last night on The Games after his shorts split and his bare bum was exposed again.

The actor’s Lycra shorts were ripped open after a gruelling ride inside the velodrome.

The 37-year-old’s victory on the bike came at a price, namely his ruined outfit.

Ryan’s pregnant fiancée, Lucy Mecklenburgh, took a picture of her man’s backside after the event.

She cheekily wrote: “Here it is again.”

Lucy joked she was worried she’d go into labour while watching Ryan compete, but fortunately her waters remained intact.

Ryan’s exposé came just days after his rear popped out in the diving pit.

The ex Corrie star’s budgie smugglers were pulled down by the force of his dive, revealing more than he bargained for as he kicked back up to the surface.

But nobody on Twitter was complaining, with one fan writing: “Oh hello Ryan Thomas, you cheeky boy #TheGames.”

Another said: “All of Ryan’s best bits on show tonight #TheGames.”

Someone else wrote: “Ryan Thomas has a nice bum #TheGames.”

And a fourth joked: “And the BAFTA goes to Ryan Thomas’ a*** #TheGames.”

Ryan recently confessed he may be forced to pull out of the show if Lucy does go into labour.

Appearing on This Morning via video link, he said: “If this little girl comes this week, I am out of the show.

“Fingers crossed I get to the end of it and I can finish it and complete it and then move on to the next chapter of our lives.”

This Morning host Rochelle Humes – who’s stepping in for Holly Willoughby while she presents The Games – revealed Ryan had been stealing Lucy’s bath salts to soothe his body after training.

She said: “How does this challenge compare because I actually replied to your story the other day and you’d stolen Lucy’s bath salts and wacked them in the bath and said, ‘This is really tough!'”

Ryan replied: “You’ve caught me out Rochelle, you’ve caught me out. I need your bath salts!”
