The 34-year-old hit the headlines earlier this week, following an incident with his Celebrity Big Brother co-star Roxanne Pallett.
In scenes aired during an episode of the Channel 5 show, the duo had been “play fighting”.
However, the former Emmerdale star went on to explain she had been left hurt during the activity - before accusing Ryan of “punching” her.
The 35-year-old chose to exit the Celebrity Big Brother house after Friday night’s episode aired.
Big Brother puts into place appropriate support arrangements as required.
Following the dramatic episodes, Celebrity Big Brother have told The Sun that Ryan has been access to “professional support” - as is standard for all of the housemates who may require it.
A spokesperson for Celebrity Big Brother told Express.co.uk: “We would not comment on individual cases but housemates' well-being is closely monitored and of paramount importance.
“Big Brother puts into place appropriate support arrangements as required.”
Ahead of the sudden exit, some of the housemates debated whether Roxanne would choose to remain in the programme, after she became aware of the public backlash against her amid the recent drama.
Speaking out of the star's earshot, a number of contestants pondered about how she would react to the revelation.
During the discussion, Dan Osborne, 27, announced to his co-stars: “I don’t think Roxy’s going to last until Tuesday.”
However, Jermaine Pennant was quick to suggest Roxanne may choose to stay in the compound as he told she would then qualify for her “fee” for starring in the show.
“The thing is if she leaves, she won’t get her fee,” the 35-year-old claimed.
According to The Daily Star, Roxanne could have been offered a “top-rate fee” in return for taking part in the series.

A representative for Channel 5 told Express.co.uk they would not comment on fees.
