Blue singer Lee Ryan has had a charge against him dropped over a claim he assaulted a police officer after allegedly boarding a flight while drunk.
The musician, who is one-fifth of the Nineties chart-topping group Blue, appeared at Westminster Magistrates' Court on Wednesday and was informed that the Crown Prosecution Service had dropped the charge. Lee, 40, had previously withdrawn his guilty plea after pleading guilty to assault by biting a police officer following an incident on a flight from Glasgow to London City Airport on July 31.
He claimed he had originally plead guilty due to "poor advice from his solicitor".
