Biography
Lee has always had his sights set on stardom, training at both of the most prestigious private performing arts schools in London, the Sylvia Young Theatre School and Italia Conti Academy of Theatre Arts.
In 2001, he became a member of one of the UK’s most popular boybands, Blue. The band released two albums and sold more than 14 million records worldwide. Blue split in 2005 with Lee going on to pursue a solo career.
To date, Lee has released one solo album and six singles, his biggest solo hit being Army of Love which reached number 3 in the UK singles chart. He’s made a few TV appearances, most notably on Hell’s Kitchen where he was thrown off the show after falling out with Marco Pierre White.
Blue reformed in 1999 for a reunion tour, and then went on to have a crack at Eurovision in 2011 with the song, I Can. They couldn’t. In January 2011 Lee reported that he and the boys are working on a brand new album.
Aside from his musical career, Lee’s distinctly dodgy behaviour has meant he’s never been short of column inches. He’s made some offensive and embarrassing comments about 9/11, assaulted a taxi driver, met Samantha Miller on MySpace, proposed to her in a supermarket, dumped her while pregnant, found out he had a secret love child, and celebrated his 28th birthday by being arrested on suspicion of assault outside a club in Oxford. Classy Lee, real classy…
