So Blue are the latest band to follow take that, Duran Duran et al on the comeback trail and Anthony Costa joined us on Heart Breakfast the other day. I've met him quite a few times and he, like the other blue boys is a really nice fella. What I like most about him though is his complete honesty! We asked him who was the rudest member of the band and he told us a brilliant no holes barred story! A few years ago, at the height of their fame they were invited to perform for the sultan of Brunai - one of the worlds richest men. The gig went well and they then found themselves sitting down to a sumptous feast where their fellow diners included other stars, royalty and VIP's. The first course was soup which Lee Ryan especially was loudly slurping away at with gusto! He enjoyed it so much that when eventually his bowl was empty, he wiped his chin, grabbed another piece of bread and dunked it into the full bowl opposite - muttering 'ere bruv, you done with that?' This, of course, would have been quite a major foody faux pas anyway, but was made even worse by the fact that the bowl belonged to the Sultan of Brunai's son!!
Anthony said the rest of the boys didn't know where to look!
Let's home his table manners have improved since the last time they were famous!
