Lee Ryan has reportedly been arrested after behaving in an 'intimidating' and 'crazy' manner during a flight from Glasgow to London City Airport on Sunday.
The Blue singer, 39, is alleged to have been abusive towards cabin crew when they refused to serve him an alcoholic drink before he was handcuffed after the plane landed.
It has been claimed that staff radioed ahead, prompting a police van to meet the former Celebrity Big Brother contestant on the runway with cops boarding the British Airways flight.

He allegedly spent the night in a cell after being arrested on suspicion of public order offences but has since been released from custody after twelve-hours, pending further investigation.
A passenger, who claimed the incident delayed the flight by 20 minutes, told The Sun: '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. It was crazy behaviour.'
Another said: 'The way he acted was really intimidating.'

Lee's representative declined to comment when contacted by MailOnline.
A Metropolitan Police spokesman told MailOnline: '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.'

Lee has previously spoken of his struggles with alcohol, after describing himself as having been a 'good alcoholic' for ten years.
Lee, who has appeared on Celebs Go Dating, told in 2019 how he still drinks socially but not 'inwardly'.
Back in April it was revealed Lee's company has gone bust with debts totaling £69,000.
