Lee also revealed details of his 'secret' wedding
Last updated 30th May 2022
Antony Costa, Duncan James, Lee Ryan and Simon Webbe, better known as Blue, have just reunited for their brand new song 'Haven't Found You Yet', which will be featured on their upcoming album 'Heart & Soul', so we thought we'd get them in the studio at Hits Radio.
Blue dropped their new single 'Haven't Found You Yet' on Wednesday 25th May, surprising fans with what is their first single in seven years. And, with a tour coming up later in the year, Fleur wanted to know what was in store, inadvertently finding herself invited along to join the group as they celebrate their 20th anniversary.
Saying how much fun it would be to have Fleur join them on tour, the band admitted: "It would be crazy!"
The boys went on to admit that they can't go out and party like they used to saying: "Back in the day we used to have after show parties, but this time it's going to be after show physiotherapy." đŸ˜‚
With the boys in the studio, Fleur also took the opportunity to ask about Lee's secret wedding to Ariana Grande lookalike, Verity Paris, Fleur asked: "Lee, apparently you got secretly married..."
Admitting: "I did get married!" Lee explained how they: "Just wanted to go and do it," but they will having a bigger ceremony next year.
Lee continued: "I wanted to be like John Lennon, I actually went to the same place... I actually did the paperwork, signed at the John Lennon desk. It was really cool!"
"I'm very happy," the singer went on to say how, as his wife is a singer as well, they have sing-offs, but: "She's got a much better voice than me". Aww!
The band also revealed that MNEK wrote the title track of their album 'Heart & Soul', sounds like they're in good hands, as he's also written for Becky Hill, Joel Corry, Jax Jones and more.
