Ryan Thomas will descend on Gateshead this week to host a free family roadshow at one of the borough's most famous parks.
Ryan first shot to TV fame in the mid-00s as Jason Grimshaw in Coronation Street, a role which saw him watched by millions of viewers numerous times a week for over a decade. In 2018 he appeared in the final series of Celebrity Big Brother on Channel 5, with his time in the house shrouded in controversy, thanks to false allegations made against him by housemate Roxanne Pallett.
Roxanne's accusation that Ryan had punched her sparked uproar from viewers at home and left Ryan massively upset as other stars believed her. Some justice was done when Ryan went onto win the show and he was in a different reality TV competition altogether earlier this year, when he was one of the celeb athletes in ITV's re-boot of The Games, the sporting show which started life on Channel 4 at the same time Ryan was making it big in Corrie.
