Blue to split next year

British boy band Blue will split for good next year, according to music mogul Louis Walsh.

The judge on British TV's talent show X-Factor, believes only Lee Ryan will embark on a solo career - while Duncan James, Antony Costa and Simon WebbeE will work in TV.

Walsh says: "I know for a fact Blue are going to break up.

"Lee will probably have a big solo career and the other three will probably end up as TV presenters."
