Former Emmerdale star Ryan Thomas has found himself in a feathery feud, declaring war on a family of pigeons that have brazenly occupied his Manchester home. The reality TV favourite has been forced to take extreme measures to evict his unwelcome tenants after they turned his property into their personal aviary.
The bizarre standoff began when the persistent birds managed to infiltrate a cavity wall in the actor's house, creating a nesting site and refusing to budge. Thomas, famed for his roles on the cobbles and in the Celebrity Big Brother house, has tried everything from banging on the walls to seeking professional help in his desperate attempt to reclaim his domain.
'It's been an absolute nightmare,' the exasperated actor confessed. 'They've completely taken over. I'm at my wits' end trying to get them out.'
The situation has become so dire that Thomas has now enlisted a specialist pest control team to address the winged invasion. The professionals have been tasked with the delicate operation of safely removing the squatters and securing the property against future avian assaults.
This isn't the first time the 40-year-old actor has faced domestic drama. Recently, Thomas made headlines when he revealed the heartbreaking reason behind his move from his previous residence, adding another layer to his ongoing housing woes.
Fans of the actor have taken to social media to express both sympathy and amusement at his predicament, with many sharing their own stories of wildlife invasions and offering humorous solutions to his pigeon problem.
As the battle continues, Thomas remains determined to win back his home from his feathered foes, proving that sometimes reality is stranger than any script he might have performed on television.
