Blue's Lee Ryan has spent £10,000 (€15,600) on a white sequined suit, once owned by Elton John.

The singer bought the flamboyant outfit as part of an auction to raise money for Aids charities.

The suit, described as a Mozart-inspired frock coat and trousers, was worn by The Rocket Man during his Australian tour in 1984.

It is one of 20,000 items being sold by Elton John at the Out Of The Closet shop in London's Regent Street, reports The Sun.

A spokesman for Lee said: "He hasn't decided what to do with it yet."
