Lee Ryan has said that he did not like his early days as a member of boyband Blue because he did not enjoy having to conform.The singer-songwriter told the Metro that he "hated" having to fit in and suggested that he had an identity crisis.Ryan said: "A lot of people go through that and that first transitional stage."All my early 20s, I hated completely. I just didn't know who I was. Society puts a strain to conform and stand in line which I hate - it's not right."He added that his former bandmate Duncan James "looks like he has a weight off his shoulders" having revealed that he is bisexual last year.Ryan added: "He seems so much happier now. He feels like he's just cool, man. I saw him the other day and he was happy as Larry. I love him to bits. He's like a soulmate brother."
