Blue Star Lee Ryan handed suspended sentence for abusing cabin crew

Blue star Lee Ryan has been handed a 12-month suspended prison sentence at Isleworth Crown Court for racially aggravated common assault by beating and behaving in an abusive way towards a cabin crew member.

He had earlier pleaded guilty to being drunk on an aircraft, for which he was handed a four-month jail term, suspended, to run concurrently.

Ryan confessed to drinking a whole bottle of port and eating cheese in the British Airways lounge after the flight was delayed and said he had no memory of the incident.
