Singer Lee Ryan has successfully applied to withdraw his guilty plea for drunkenly 'assaulting' a police officer during his arrest for 'abusing' a black flight attendant.
After being refused more alcohol on the plane and told to return to his seat, Ryan made comments about attendant Leah Gordon’s looks, calling her a “chocolate cookie”, before grabbing her wrists. He was found guilty at Ealing Magistrates’ Court in January of racially aggravated common assault by beating and behaving in an abusive way towards the cabin crew member while pleading guilty to assaulting a police officer by biting him.
