Ryan was zipping around in the envy-inducing car, which featured silver and black detailing and was given a spick and span finish.

His outing comes as he takes a break from lockdown with his fiancé Lucy Mecklenburgh, their son Roman, two months, and his daughter Scarlett, 11. 

His swanky purchase comes after he revealed he dreams of making millions and has learnt ‘to pay the taxman’ after his bankruptcy hell five years ago.

In 2018, following his ill-fated stint on Celebrity Big Brother, the former Coronation Street star, who netted a reported £500,000 appearance fee on the show, discussed his 2013 financial crisis and what he has learnt.

Ryan admitted his huge generosity after finding fame aged 16 was the main reason for his troubles, before he was shown a MailOnline headline about making millions – as he admitted he ‘hopes those dreams come true’.

Back in 2013, Ryan, who starred as Jason Grimshaw on the soap from 2000 to 2016, filed for bankruptcy after a petition from HMRC over an alleged £40,000 tax bill. 

 His salary at the time was said to be worth around £90,000 after which he was given extra time to payback the taxman. Reports claim he was doing £2,000 a night club appearance at the time to contribute to his bill.

While chatting to Jeremy, with the focus of the conversation being ‘Punchgate’, the TV host held up the Mail headline reading: ‘Celebrity Big Brother winner Ryan Thomas ‘set to make MILLIONS’… after being declared bankrupt five years ago’.

As he laughed at the story, the star, who shares nine-year-old daughter Scarlett with former Corrie star Tina O’Brien, admitted: ‘That’s the best headline I’ve ever read’.

The story detailed that it has been claimed that he has been inundated with TV offers, which could see him rake in millions – five years after he went bankrupt.

He went on to discuss his financial woes, as he said: ‘It’s not something I’m proud of but when i was 16, I had so much money and I was spending it all on my friends…

‘I was so generous and I thought it grew on trees and times have changed and it’s a big responsibility. I want to provide for Scarlett and I’ve learnt to put the money away for the taxman and I hope my dreams come true.’
