Love Island's Connor Durman has apologised for posing with a white powder at a party and admitted to taking "recreational drugs".
The 25-year-old, who left the Love Island villa three weeks in after his other half Sophie Piper was picked to stay, was filmed in a video from when he was living in Australia.
He is posing with lines of white powder in front of him, talking to the camera.
His rep told The Sun: "Connor was living in Australia last year and recreational drugs were sadly used.
"One of the reasons he left Australia and came back to the UK to be with his family is because he realised his life was spiralling out of control.
"He regrets his past and is now moving forward with his life. He is sorry.”
A rep for Connor claimed the photos, which were sold to The Sun, came from Connor's "bitter" ex-girlfriend, Stevie-Leigh Pich.
They added she auditioned twice for Love Island but was rejected both times.
Stevie-Leigh denied selling the photos when contacted by MirrorOnline.
Since Sophie was dumped from the villa, the pair appeared to be making a go of things, and were pictured on a date night together to the cinema before they headed back to a hotel.
Sophie has since insisted they aren't together, calling their romance a "situationship" rather than a relationship.
But speaking in his Cheltenham Betting Offers blog, Connor seemed to think things were progressing nicely, writing: “ It’s going really well with Sophie. She really wants to meet my mates and my family, so it’s nice.
“We’re chatting all the time, things are going well. We’re taking things slowly at the moment because in the villa it’s quite intense, so it’s quite nice to have a real relationship.
“We’re just seeing each other, not taking things too fast.
He also referred to her as his "other half", revealing: “I met Rochelle and Lili, her sister, at Aftersun, and they were lovely.
"It was nice to meet them, they were really nice. I am always quite nervous about meeting an other half’s family, but things went really well."
