Blue singer Lee Ryan has apologised after he was arrested following an explosive outburst on a flight to London from Glasgow on Sunday afternoon.
The 39 year old father of three is said to have got "aggressive" after flight attendants refused to serve him alcohol aboard a plane he was on during a flight into London City Airport.
He is said to have gone on a foul-mouthed rant and "turned the air blue" according to onlookers. Lee was subsequently arrested on suspicion of public order offences.
He's finally broken his silence on the incident, issuing an apology statement via Blue's official Instagram page, in which he admitted he has "struggles with alcohol" and he vowed to "seek professional help." His note read: "Over the last few days, I have had a lot of time to think about my behaviour and how it affects people around me. "As it has been well documented I have always had my struggles with alcohol and often say or do silly things as a result of that, which in turn has caused problems for myself and those around me. "For that I want to apologise to everyone I have upset or offended. "Last week, I acted inappropriately on a flight to London and I want to say sorry to the airline staff, everyone on the flight, as well as my band mates, my family and our fans. "The time has come for me to take ownership of the root cause of these problems and for that reason I am reducing my schedule for the time being to seek professional help and spend time with my family. "I am aware of how my behaviour affects others and by starting this journey of working on my mental health I hope to emerge a better person for it. "Thank you to everyone that has sent me messages of support and I am sorry to everyone I have let down.
