Ryan Thomas 'set to become a millionaire again' six years after bankruptcy

Ryan Thomas is reportedly set to become a millionaire again, six years after he was declared bankrupt.

The former Coronation Street star and Celebrity Big Brother winner entered bankruptcy when he was hit with a £40,000 tax bill he couldn't pay in 2013.

But it's now said that the actor is on track to be a millionaire once more.

The 34-year-old has paid back every penny of what he owed and his performing arts firm has filed accounts showing impressive finances, reports The Sun .

The newspaper says Ryan, who played Jason Grimshaw on the soap, even has money put to one side for the HMRC.

They say books filed to Companies House show his firm, R James Thomas Ltd, has £247,493 in cash and that he's due to pay £21,000 to the taxman for the money he earned in 2018.

It's said the surplus is left over after Ryan's accountant took out expenses and Ryan paid himself as the firm's sole director.

Ryan reportedly earned a whopping fee of £500,000 to appear on CBB last year and has been earning money every since his 'Punchgate' row with Roxanne Pallett .

He's said to be in high demands for social media ads, TV appearances and magazine deals, meaning next year's earnings could see him edge even closer to millionaire status.

Ryan has previously admitted that he wasn't the best at looking after his money.

He was apparently earning around £100,000 a year during his time on Corrie.

He could also charge £2,000 a time for personal appearances at night clubs.

Ryan, who is dating former TOWIE star Lucy Mecklenburgh, once 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 [his daughter with ex Tina O'Brien] and I've learnt to put the money away for the taxman and I hope my dreams come true."

Mirror Online has contacted Ryan's representatives for comment.
