Blue star Lee Ryan has been found guilty of racially aggravated assault after drinking a whole bottle of port before boarding a flight. The singer drunkenly told a black flight attendant “I want your chocolate children” on a British Airways plane flying from Glasgow to London on July 31 last year.
A court heard how the 39-year-old celeb was “slurring his words and staggering around” on board the flight. After being refused more alcohol on the plane and told to return to his seat, Ryan made comments about Leah Gordon’s looks, calling her a “chocolate cookie” before grabbing her wrists.
She said Ryan initially called her “beautiful” and put his sunglasses on her face. Ms Gordon told Ealing Magistrates’ Court: “He was making comments about my complexion, you’re my chocolate darling, my chocolate cookie, and I’m going to have your chocolate children.”
