HE'S constantly on the pull, but Blue's Anthony Costa could learn a thing or two about how to treat the ladies.

We've discovered that the 22-year-old boy band singer, who split with pregnant girlfriend Lucy Bolster before Christmas, has taken back the car he had given her. nd to make things even worse, Anthony asked his dad Michael to do it while he was away in Japan with the band.

Anthony and Lucy, 21,who were together for two years, are expecting a baby next month. But since they split Anthony has become a regular in London clubs, where mates say he has been doing his best to find another lady while Lucy prepares to give birth. Anthony had given her a EUR45,000 Jeep Cherokee but last week decided he wanted it back. So he called his dad from Japan and told him to reclaim it.

"Anthony gave her it when they were very much in love," says a friend of Lucy. "Since he broke it off, she's been using the car to get about and go to hospital appointments. She's having difficulty walking - the last thing she wants is to go to see her doctor on the tube, but that's what's happening. She feels very alone and can't believe Anthony has done this. She's distraught."

But a spokesman for Blue defended Anthony. "At the end of the day it was his car - she was only borrowing it," he said. "When they finished, they decided to call it quits - she didn't want anything to do with him so Anthony said he wanted his car back.

"They didn't break up on good terms. She sold their story without telling him and he wasn't thrilled about it."

Anthony takes the prospect of being a dad seriously, we're told. "He'll be there for their child, no doubt about that," says a friend.

Just not for the mother, it seems.
