Blue star Lee Ryan was arrested after allegedly causing a disturbance and 'turning the air blue' on a flight when cabin crew refused to serve him alcohol.
The singer, 39, was on a BA plane travelling to London City Airport from Glasgow on Sunday.
He is said to have launched a foul-mouthed tirade at cabin staff after being denied a drink and refused to sit back down in his seat.
A Met Police spokesman told Mirror Online: "At around 1640hrs on Sunday, 31 July, officers met a flight that had arrived at London City Airport from Glasgow.
"A 39-year-old man was arrested for a public order offence. He was taken into custody at an east London police station and was released under investigation the following day."
A passenger on the plane told the Sun: “He became aggressive with the air hostesses once it became clear he wouldn’t get given alcohol.”
Representatives for the singer have declined to comment.
