Blue Star Lee Ryan Charged With Assault

August 20, 2010

Blue singer Lee Ryan has been charged with assault after he allegedly hit his fiancee in the face.

Tabloid reports said the incident took place in a car in the West End of London on Wednesday night (August 19).

Ryan and Samantha Millar, 26, have a son together. He is due to appear in court on August 27.

The former pop singer's spokesperson told The Sun: "Lee 100% denies common assault. He will be fighting these charges."

The 27-year-old recently made an unsuccessful attempt to re-launch his music career.
