Cradling his baby daughter, who was born three weeks ago, he said: ‘Hey everyone. I just wanted to say sorry that I’m not there for the promo right now. 

‘Everything’s ok. I know the boys are doing everything. I know there are a lot of people talking madness. I’ve actually had a little baby. 

‘She’s only three weeks old now, so I’m at home with my family, being a dad and being with the children.’ 

The singer is also a father to 14-year-old Bluebell with Jessica Keevil, daughter Rayn with Samantha Miller, and a one-year-old daughter with his wife, Verity.

BBC Breakfast viewers were left baffled after Blue appeared on Friday’s show, without Ryan.

The singer was missing from the foursome, while Duncan James, Simon Webbe and Antony Costa promoted their latest album and upcoming tour.

Fans quickly noticed his absence and took to social media to ask where the singer was.

One asked: ‘Where is the 4th member of Blue?’

While another quipped: ‘Bold of @officialblue to replace Lee Ryan with Charlie Stayt ahead of their new tour but I’m here for it’.

The happy news comes after Ryan was arrested after behaving in an ‘intimidating’ and ‘crazy’ manner on a British Airways flight in August.

Since the incident, he has been MIA for some time, and missed the band’s performance at Blackpool Illuminations Switch-on concert last month.

According to LancsLive, when asked where the singer was the band replied he was ‘taking time off’.

Ryanis alleged to have been abusive towards cabin crew when they refused to serve him an alcoholic drink and he was handcuffed after the plane landed.

He has previously spoken of his struggles with alcohol, after describing himself as having been a ‘good alcoholic’ for 10 years.

The former pop star, who has appeared on Celebs Go Dating, told in 2019  how he still drinks socially but not ‘inwardly’. 

Staff are believed to have radioed ahead, prompting a police van to meet the former Celebrity Big Brother contestant on the runway with cops boarding the British Airways flight.

He allegedly spent the night in a cell after being arrested on suspicion of public order offences.
