Blue Singer Antony Costa Becomes Third Member Of Boy Band To Declare Himself Bankrupt

Third Member of Blue Files For Bankruptcy

Blue star Antony Costa is the latest member of the boy band to file for bankruptcy.

His fellow bandmates Simon Webbe and Duncan James have already declared themselves bankrupt, which means 'Celebrity Big Brother' star Lee Ryan is the only member of the band never to have gone broke.

Antony, whose fiancée gave birth to their baby daughter Savannah in June, says declaring himself bankrupt is the best way to secure the future of his family.

“I want to be sure I can provide the best possible future for my family.

“Our former management made a lot of decisions that we as a band have had to be financially responsible for. Whether right or wrong, their personal pursuit in the last two years has led me to instigate proceedings to wipe the financial slate clean and start again.

“I love my family and I love my band, and I look forward to all the exciting things that lie ahead in the near and distant future.”

Things are looking a lot rosier on the financial front for Antony's bandmate Simon Webbe, who has signed a big money deal to appear on this year's 'Strictly Come Dancing'.

“I want to make my daughter proud and no doubt she will be teaching me a pirouette or two along the way.”
