Blue singer Lee Ryan was reportedly arrested after being kicked off a British Airways flight to London when cabin crew refused to serve him alcohol.
The 39-year-old who also appeared in long-running BBC soap Eastenders was on a BA flight travelling from Glasgow to London on Sunday.
The flight was said to have been disrupted for 20 minutes after the star refused to sit back down in his seat, The Mirror reports.
A Met Police spokesman said: "At around 1640hrs on Sunday, 31 July, officers met a flight that had arrived at London City Airport from Glasgow.
"A 39-year-old man was arrested for a public order offence. He was taken into custody at an east London police station and was released under investigation the following day."
One passenger told The Sun: "Never mind singing with Blue, he turned the air blue with his language.
"He became aggressive with the air hostesses once it became clear he wouldn’t get given alcohol.
"At one point he left his seat and started walking up and down the aisle despite being told to sit down — he even ran behind the cabin crew curtains."
Lee Ryan has appeared on stage and television since Blue split, a band he formed with Antony Costa, Duncan James and Simon Webbe in 2000.
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
