She later quit the show in the early hours of Saturday morning.

A TV source said: “Roxanne sat down with producers on Friday and they discussed all the possible courses of action she could take.

“She was still adamant Ryan had hit her and that it was a really serious incident, despite what everyone has seen on camera.

“CBB takes its duty if care to the celebs incredibly seriously and they wanted to give her all the options.

“They asked her if she wanted to report the incident to the police. She asked what would happen if she did and they said her and Ryan might have to leave the house and they might both forfeit their fees.

“To be fair to her, she said she didn’t want to go down that route. Then she left.”

Last night viewers said they were heartbroken as they watched 34-year-old Ryan learn of the extent of the allegations made against him by Roxanne.
