Coronation Street actor Ryan Thomas was crowned Celebrity Big Brother winner last night, and host Emma Willis said he was the most deserving winner of all time.
Earlier in the series, Roxanne accused him of punching her "repeatedly, unprovoked" leading him into an isolated state.
Roxanne has since apologised for it, and speaking at the final last night, it seems Ryan is ready to forgive her.
"If she wants forgiveness and it makes her feel better then I would rather give her that because I think she's been punished enough by the public and the people around her."
Speaking about the incident, Ryan said he was "a scared little boy."
"It was a sign of affection that I've used on Gabby, the boys. And unexpected because there was nothing in it and as it unraveled, as it became bigger and bigger, the thing that scared me the most was when Ben said she couldn't stay in the room with me because she was scared.
"That rang alarm bells. Then the game became real life for me. I did break. I was a scared little boy. I just wanted out."
Viewers were delighted that Ryan came out on top.
How lovely is @ryanjamesthomas. Nobody deserved to win this anymore than him #CBB

They just showed Ryan the footage we’ve all been wanting him to see. I’m glad they asked him first before they showed it. You could see the look on his face that it’s something he wanted to forget. #CBB pic.twitter.com/vnAgVbTxfS
