Former BLUE singer LEE RYAN is set to become a first time father - after falling in love and impregnating a fan.

The ex-British boyband star, 25, began a relationship with Samantha Miller, 20, after she posted saucy snaps of herself on his MySpace.com webpage.

A pal of the pop star says, "He described the pictures as 'well hot'. He couldn't help himself and got in touch with her. Sam was a huge fan, but was worried about his womanising past at first. Now she is fine about it because Lee is totally devoted to her. They make a great couple."

And the couple is so serious about their romance, they are now planning to wed before the baby is born - much to the surprise of his friends.

The friend adds, "(But) everyone was shocked when Lee revealed he was getting wed later this year - and a baby was on the way. They've only been dating a few months and we didn't expect him to settle down any time soon."

But Ryan's mum Sheila is happy for her son: "Sammy is a really lovely girl and she and Lee are really happy. The wedding arrangements haven't been made yet."
