BLUE singer Lee Ryan has addressed his 'inappropriate behaviour' after being 'kicked off' a Glasgow flight.
It is claimed that the former Eastenders actor was kicked off a British Airways flight to London last week when the cabin crew refused to serve him alcohol.
The flight was said to have been disrupted for 20 minutes after the star refused to sit back down in his seat.
The Met Police confirmed that a 39-year-old man had been arrested at London City airport for a public order offence, then later released under investigation.

Now Lee, 39, has posted a public apology via the band's Instagram page following the alleged incident.
A statement said: “A Note from Lee. 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 upset 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 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. Lee x.”
