Corrie’s Ryan Thomas Gets Dropped From Bear Grylls’ Survival Show :(


Spare a thought for poor Ryan Thomas this weekend.

Weatherfield’s fittest finest has now been dumped from Bear Grylls’ ‘Mission Survive’ show, for apparently not being 'up to task’.

Not exactly the most festive of news, is it?

Ryan, who announced his departure from Coronation Street earlier this year, was due to take part in the survival expert’s latest ITV show, but producers made a last minute decision to ditch him.

According to those lads and lasses at The Sun, show bosses didn’t think he’d be able to cope with the demands of the tasks, and said he wasn’t in 'the right state of mind’.

Well if we had to drink our own urine on ITV1 we’d not be feeling great about it either.

Ryan, who’s had to cope with a whole wodge of bad publicity this year, was said to be looking at the show as a chance to help redeem his character.

A source told the paper: “Ryan saw Mission Survive as great exposure. Producers wanted him as he’s a character and popular with the ladies. But then everything started to unravel.”

The shock sacking comes after Ryan, who played Jason Grimshaw in the Manchester-based soap, was arrested and fined last weekend for being drunk and disorderly.

The actor was charged by police and made to hand over £90 after things got a little too 'festive’ at a night club in the Lake District.

Fingers crossed that Ryan can put all of this malarkey behind him next year, eh?
