Blue rebel Lee Ryan was left humiliated when a French fan begged her father to rescue her from the star's persistent attempts to seduce her.

AURELIE VERHAEGHE, 19, who won a competition to meet her idol, spent time with the hunky singer at the NRJ Radio Awards in Cannes - but she angrily called her dad to pick her up after Ryan ordered her to have a bath, groped and leapt on her while begging the petrified Nice-born singer to indulge his saucy desires, according to British newspaper the DAILY MIRROR.

Varhaeghe complains, "He kept asking if I wanted a bath. He had a bath and then he just jumped on me. It's the first time anyone did that to me. Then he began to kiss me and touch my body. I said I didn't want sex.

"He started to kiss me again and put his hands on my boobs. I said 'I can't do that. I'm an emotional person,' He said, 'Don't you do foreplay with your friends?' Then I called my dad to pick me up. I'm glad I didn't have sex with him. I did not know anything about his reputation."

Ryan's spokesman insists, "Lee has no recollection of meeting this girl."
