CBB JEZ ‘DRUG’ SHAME
Star snorts powder off girl’s thigh
CELEBRITY BIG Brother was embroiled in scandal last night after a video appeared online of contestant Jeremy McConnell snorting white powder off a girl’s thigh.
CBB star Jeremy McConnell is at the centre of a “cocaine” scandal after a video emerged of him snorting white powder off a woman’s inner-thigh.
The shocking clip had last night racked up thousands of views online.
Jeremy, 25, has become a firm favourite with viewers since entering the telly house earlier this month.
But claims he is taking cocaine in the video are likely to leave his public image in tatters.
Model Jeremy has been well behaved on the show and has never before been caught up in a drug scandal.
The six-second clip was posted on YouTube, Twitter and a string of telly blogs yesterday.
It shows him giving a smug look to the camera while naked in bed with a woman, whose private parts are exposed.
Jeremy then puts his face near her crotch and loudly snorts a white substance.
The post on YouTube is entitled “Celebrity Big Brother housemate Jeremy McConnell Snorting Cocaine”.
And when it was uploaded to Twitter it read: “Jeremy from big brother doing a dart off some birds Robbie fowler.”
Last night it had been retweeted by more than 3,000 users, including stripper Chelsea Ferguson, who has partied with him in the past.
Shocked fans branded his behaviour in the video “horrific” and “vile”.
Before CBB, Jeremy was unknown to most British viewers, having only appeared on MTV series Beauty School Cop Outs.
But his romance with ex-Hollyoaks actress Steph Davis on CBB has made him one of the most talked about contestants.
When host Emma Willis went live to the house during Friday night’s eviction the crowd gave him a massive cheer.
Jeremy looked set to cash in on his time on the Channel 5 show with a string of bigmoney deals but his future earnings now hang in the balance.
A show insider said: “Jeremy was on track to do really well from being on Celebrity Big Brother but this will shock the show’s family audience and could ruin his TV career for good.
“He is unlikely to cash in on bigmoney endorsements with a scandal like this on the internet.”
Jeremy’s representatives said they were unable to comment until he leaves the CBB house.
Earlier this month it emerged Jeremy had lied that he was a former Mr Ireland.
