Look away Lee! Duncan James enjoys a night out with Jasmine Waltz... as Blue band-mate survives eviction from Celebrity Big Brother
Lovesick Lee Ryan may well be pining for Jasmine Waltz following her eviction from the Celebrity Big Brother house this week – but the feisty American was enjoying the company of another Blue star on Friday evening when she stepped out in London.
Jasmine was enjoying a night out at the capital’s Buddah Bar – and she had good company in the form of Lee’s close pal, Duncan James.
The pair were side by side at the trendy nightspot, where they cheerfully posed for photos after watching Lee survive eviction from the CBB compound earlier that evening.

Jasmine opted for a monochrome outfit comprised of cropped leather jacket and tight black trousers for her night out with hunky Duncan, completing the look with a pair of matching stiletto heels.

Duncan had also opted for a smart black ensemble – but appeared to be wearing more make-up than for the former Celebrity Big Brother housemate, who leaned in and gave him a playful kiss on the cheek.
Speaking on his Metro blog, Duncan admitted his first impressions of Jasmine were positive.
'Iknow that Jasmine doesn’t really know many people in the UK and I know that Lee told her that his Blue boys would look out for her when she left the house,' he wrote. 'We had a great evening out and I got to ask her all the questions that we all wanted and needed to know.
'It was so nice to speak candidly and I am happy with what Jasmine said – us Blue boys will always have Lee-Roy’s back. I feel Jasmine’s feelings for Lee are genuine.

'I really like her and she has my approval! She has a heart of gold and I knew that within an hour of knowing her. She’s also so proud of how loyal Lee has been towards her in the house since she has left and she told me that she really appreciates that.'
On Wednesday the Blue star referenced Jasmine’s exit from the house, tweeting: 'Big brother!!!! Well well well!!!! I bet Casey is sooooo happy now jasmine's gone! Lee looked devastated!'
He also dismissed any chance of romance between Lee and Casey Batchelor, who viewers saw burying the hatchet with the Blue star on Friday’s show.
'Casey, she's acting like a bunny boiler if I must say so myself,' he told MailOnline. 'And she must have known what Lee is like, all you have to do is Google Lee Ryan and see what he's been like in the past.
‘She's not that dumb - she's a 26-year-old girl and I'm sure she's heard about Lee Ryan before.’

He added: 'And I'm sure she's read many many stories about what he's like. So don't be playing the victim and say, "Oh, I really like you".
‘I just think you're a grown woman, you're not a child, you should be in control of your emotions at that age and know... And then for her to go back into that botlhole and be like, "Oh I've got no knickers on, how do I kiss, do I kiss good?" '
