RYAN Thomas is down to his last £1 in his company’s bank account, it can be revealed.
The former Corrie star, 41, runs a media firm called R James Thomas Ltd which takes in cash from his TV and endorsement work.
Annual accounts filed to Companies House show just a solitary pound in the company account for the 12 months to the end of January this year.
His cash balance was £41,361 in the previous 12 months.
With assets taken into account, the firm had a bottom line of £28,275 when the books were filed to Companies House.
A Corporation Tax bill of £55,062 reveals he still enjoyed a profitable year.

The Sun has contacted Ryan’s representatives for comment.

The show launched in March but by August, it was axed after just one series.
Despite his TV successes, the star previously confessed he has struggled managing his finances.
He found fame at just 16, earning £100,000 – but he said he lacked a financial role model growing up.
Ryan said: “I had money from a very young age – and for a 16-year-old I had a hell of a lot of money.
“So, I did have a credit card growing up and it caused me a few problems.
“It’s so long ago I can’t remember how much I took my eye off the ball, but I know that I was always late paying it back and it became a debt that I never knew existed.”
Young Ryan would also foot the bill for nights out with his friends which meant he would spend more than he should.
In addition, Ryan revealed he filed for bankruptcy in 2013 due to an unpaid tax bill, which he said was down to him being careless.
The dad – who is engaged to former TOWIE star Lucy Mecklenburgh – said: “But I don’t regret any of the things that happened to me because I actually feel like they’ve been a real blessing.
“I’ve learnt so much and I don’t think to myself ‘oh, I did this, I did that’ because I’m the sort of guy who takes a day at a time anyway.
“I don’t really think about too much into the future and during that time I was earning anyway, so it wasn’t like I was jobless.
“I just lost everything and started again.”
