'I had sex in back of taxi'

Lee Ryan has revealed that he once had sex in the back of a taxi.

Having revealed earlier this month that he also enjoyed threesomes with bisexual bandmate Duncan James during the height of Blue's fame, he has now admitted to romping in a moving cab.

"I once had sex in the back of a taxi. I had to give the driver an extra tip after that," he told Now.

"It was in the morning so I'm surprised he didn't crash the car."

However, the 26-year-old insisted that he has turned over a new leaf after the birth of 16-month-old son Rayn with fiancée Samantha Miller, and has ditched the party lifestyle.

"I don't even smoke weed and hardly drink," he said.

'I didn't like conforming'

Lee Ryan has said that he did not like his early days as a member of boyband Blue because he did not enjoy having to conform.

The singer-songwriter told the Metro that he "hated" having to fit in and suggested that he had an identity crisis.

Ryan said: "A lot of people go through that and that first transitional stage.

"All my early 20s, I hated completely. I just didn't know who I was. Society puts a strain to conform and stand in line which I hate - it's not right."

He added that his former bandmate Duncan James "looks like he has a weight off his shoulders" having revealed that he is bisexual last year.

Ryan added: "He seems so much happier now. He feels like he's just cool, man. I saw him the other day and he was happy as Larry. I love him to bits. He's like a soulmate brother."
