Blue star Lee Ryan arrives in court to reverse plea for police officer assault on Glasgow BA flight
Lee Ryan is trying to reverse his plea for assaulting a police officer after he pleaded guilty to that and using racially abusive language towards a Black flight attendant.
Ryan was “slurring his words and staggering around” after drinking a whole bottle of port before the British Airways flight from Glasgow to London City Airport on July 31 last year. The singer was photographed walking into Westminster Magistrates' Court wearing a black suit, white shirt and a pair of dark sunglasses earlier on Tuesday.
The singer is currently awaiting sentencing but it's thought that he is trying to reverse the plea regarding the police officer during today's hearing. He opened up on his "struggles with alcohol" claiming he will "often say or do silly things as a result of that, which in turn has caused problems for myself and those around me".
