Costa apologises for photo scandal
BLUE star ANTONY COSTA has apologised after he was photographed urinating in a London street last week (ends06Feb11).
The boyband singer was snapped relieving himself against a cashpoint in the capital during a night out and the photos were published in a tabloid newspaper over the weekend (05-06Feb11).
Costa has now spoken out over the incident, insisting he regrets his "stupid" actions.
He tells the Daily Mirror, "I was so mortified when I saw the pictures. No one wants to be seen like that. I would never, ever want to upset or embarrass my family or the band.
"I was on a night out, got a bit drunk and did something stupid. It's a mistake I'm not proud of and I am so, so sorry to anyone I have offended.
"I hope people can see this is very out of character for me and accept my apology. I hope people allow me to move on."
