She said: "Do you know what, there is something not right here. She clearly needs help.

"Nobody acts like that, if she, you know the great phrase, 'has got issues.'

"She needs to sit down with someone and get her head straight because there is something awry there.

"I just don't see how her career can recover from that."

Lorraine's advice came after Sam Attwater said he faced a similar accusation of violence from Roxanne, who has since apologised for accusing Ryan.

The 32-year-old actor - who played Leon Small on EastEnders in 2010 – branded Roxanne “dangerous” and said she was the one who "hit him".

Taking to Twitter to voice his claims, the actor said: “I can not wait for @bbuk tonight. Im so glad that Roxanne’s true personality is coming out,” he wrote on Twitter on Friday.

Revealing his story, he continued: “She did this to me on Rocky Horror tour. Except she hit me and ran off stage saying I’d hit her!"

He went on to claim: “She’s not well and shouldn’t be in there. Anyone who has worked with her knows.#dangerous.”

Sam then expressed his frustration that Ryan had no exit from Roxanne as they were held in the CBB house together.

“I feel incredibly sorry for @ryanjamesthomas that he can’t escape Roxanne. I was lucky enough to avoid her but he’s stuck in a house with her!” he wrote.

“I’ve seen all these crocodile tears before. Good thing we are too strong to be beaten down. #GetRoxanneOut,” he added.
