More pressing pop court news now. Former Blue member Lee Ryan has been in court over those previously reported allegations that he punched taxi driver Naeem Ibrahim in the head.
Redhill Magistrates' Court were told that on New Year's Eve last year Ryan's fiance crashed her car into the back of Ibrahim's taxi, which was waiting at traffic lights in Oxted, Surrey, when Ryan leant over to kiss her. Prosecution lawyer Patrick Oven alleges that the singer was "immediately unhelpful", telling the court the singer had said: "Why do you want my details? There is no damage - I am not going to pay for it" before punching the taxi driver three times in the side of the head, knocking him to the ground.
Ryan was expected to take to the witness stand himself, but the whole trial was cut short because it transpired that Mr Ibrahim was in India and could not attend court. Ryan's barrister applied to have the case dismissed but the proposal was rejected, meaning the whole thing will return to court sometime soon.
