Unlike all those other musical greats, Lee Ryan dodged the curse of 27 when he celebrated his 28th birthday over the weekend. Unfortunately, however, he was  arrested after (allegedly) punching someone repeatedly in the face. At least it wasn't his girlfriend this time.

Another year older but not in the slightest bit wiser... According to reports, Lee Ryan had a disagreement with someone outside Roppongi, 'Oxford's premier nightspot', which led to him being arrested and spending the night behind bars. 

Talking to the Daily Mail, a source said:

"A 20-year-old man... was punched a number of times in the face and as a result the police were called.

"Minutes later the police arrived in vans and cars and Lee Ryan was arrested and taken off to the cells. He wasn't very happy about it because it was his birthday and all his guests were still inside the club enjoying themselves."

Well, they had already paid £10 entry.

Anyway, it's reported that Ryan was questioned at a local police station on suspicion of assault causing actual bodily harm.

He was released on police bail and told to report back to officials, who will decide whether to charge him next month.

In a statement, a Thames Valley spokesperson announced:

"A 28-year-old man from Henley-on-Thames had been arrested on suspicion of causing actual bodily harm after an altercation outside the Roppongi nightclub."

Here's what Ryan had to say about his own twattish behaviour.
