Earlier this year, Ian was branded a ‘bully’ by his ex-partner Craig Ryder, as the pair went through a bitter court battle over a Range Rover.

According to The Sun, the singer, 42, was suing his former flame over the vehicle, and also claimed he had loaned Craig £15,000 to purchase the car.

The actor, 42, reportedly insisted the money was a gift, as he labelled Ian a ‘financial bully’ who had ‘deleted him’ from his life.

Ian and Craig share twin sons Macsen and Cybi together, who they welcomed via surrogate in March 2016, but split in late 2017 after being together for ten years.

They first began sharing their wishes to start a family back in 2011, but suffered a heart-breaking loss in 2012 when their first surrogate miscarried.
