British pop hunk Lee Ryan quit British chart-topping boyband Blue because he was sick of miming.

The 22-year-old GUILTY singer was desperate to sing live, but he was shocked to find the group was more interested in making money than performing for the love of music.

He says: "We lost that thing of singing live. We didn't do that towards the end and I didn't want to mime.

"The satisfaction in the job had gone and doing it for the money was too shallow.

"The reason I left Blue was that I wasn't giving it my all or concentrating on it, I believed I should have been giving it 100%

"All of us had lost interest in the music. Without that, the rest was bulls**t."
