Blue singer Duncan James says he blames himself for the break-up of his relationship with Anya Lahiri, but believes being a pop star makes it hard to be a good boyfriend. Speaking at yesterday's Party In The Park, Duncan told the Daily Mirror: "I'm really gutted we're not together any more. It was so hard for Anya to be going out with someone who was never there for her. She wanted a full-time boyfriend and being in the band meant that was just impossible. It came to a head when she went to a friend's 21st – all her mates had their boyfriends with them but I was doing a gig and couldn't be there. It was very one-sided – when I was in the country I'd expect her to be able to drop everything and come and see me." However, despite his new single status, Duncan says he won't be indulging in any one-night stands. "There's no way I'm going to do what Lee does – I'm not into casual flings," he promised. "I'm still reeling and I don't see myself as being back on the market. It's going to take some time."
