Lee Ryan has been declared bankrupt.

The news means that all four members of Blue have now become bankrupt following the first split of the band in 2005.

Duncan James, Anthony Costa and Simon Webbe have all suffered the same fate in previous years.

A rep for 31-year-old Ryan confirmed: "It was the best way forward to provide for his kids."

The Sun report that creditors for the singer requested bankruptcy in January.

The motion was approved in April.
