Former Blue star Lee Ryan has said that he pities boybands who are reckless with their riches.
The 'I Can' singer claimed to be impressed by modern groups who keep a close eye on their finances, as he acted like a "mug" when he first achieved fame.
"Financially you just can't ever relax," he told The Mail On Sunday. "I really admire these guys who watch the money because it was something I never did.
"In Blue I had the flash cars, the designer gear, the great flat. When we split in 2005 I was advised to put the few hundreds of thousands I had left into property and it just tanked.
"Boys in boybands can be total mugs. I was. It doesn't last long and you have to make the most of every opportunity because tomorrow you wake up and it's over."
Ryan previously claimed that having dyslexia and attention deficit disorder makes him "a bordering genius".
