He was obviously going to be outed anyway, so came clean, might explain some things in the house and he did look in withdrawal

Singer Alexander O’Neal has admitted the stress of appearing on Celebrity Big Brother drove him to taking crack cocaine in a terrifying drugs relapse.

After storming off the show three weeks ago, the soul star, 61, resorted to bingeing on the class A drug while staying in a London hotel. He paid for two deliveries from a young dealer in the space of 14 hours.

Yesterday the Criticize and If You Were Here Tonight singer vowed he would get clean.

In a statement to the Sunday Mirror, his spokesman said: “It has been extensively reported how this series of CBB has been one of the most stressful and volatile in the history of the show.

“It has been *documented in the past that Alexander has had issues that have led to him seeking professional help and treatment.

I vaguely remember Perez saying something about Alex's drug past but maybe someone has better memory of the convo

Tbf I thought he was on them IN the house??

His jaw was swinging, foaming at the mouth, aggressive mood-swings.

Signs were there.

Think he shared his Bag of Dope with Patsy.

I didn't see it but wasn't it rumoured that Perez told someone, Nadia I think, that Alex was still using?

When he was in the cage, Perez mentioned something about someone's drug habit.

Last sentence - you took the words right out of my mouth!

Makes sense.

Vicky8675309 · 07/02/15 - 23:11

when Perez was in the birdcage (?) he said something like "he's still using" and people speculated he was talking about KP's husband. We never heard who "he" was, so it may have been Alexander or anyone. Alexander did seem overly aggressive and irritable but I just thought that was his personality in that setting.

There are only 2 types richer than the celebs in USA

-- the Lawyers
-- the dealers

The night Katie Price came in the house, we caught a quick snippet of Perez saying to Nadia "I think he's still using" before it was cut.

Isn't this going to ruin his shows? you need to be insured etc and the police are going to want to speak to him I would imagine

I vaguely remember that but I thought at the time he was talking about Jeremy but I could be mistaken

[Deleted User] · 07/02/15 - 23:21

Wow, just wow. I thought I hadn't missed any of this series but this has me

[Deleted User] · 07/02/15 - 23:22

If true, it kind of puts another spin on Perez's melodramatic 'I don't feel safe in this House' thing.

AbbieJay · 07/02/15 - 23:23

Wow. Will any celebs dare to go on next year's after everyone coming out of there a wreck. Hope Keith hasn't hit the bottle.

MargMck · 07/02/15 - 23:28

Explains a lot. Maybe he was going 'cold turkey' in the house, couldn't hack it and had to get out.

I thought I was the only that noticed the foam and got creeped out!

Penny Crayon · 07/02/15 - 23:31

Wasn't it blatantly obvious in his BOTS interview?

I thought he was clearly under the influence of something and said so at the time. The dark glasses, slurred, incoherent speech.

Why is anyone surprised?

Honestly have to agree massive change from peaceful namaste zombie patsy to .... not sure how to describe...

Helen567 · 07/02/15 - 23:37

Omg. Wonder if Perez will be blamed for the relapse. "Of course he made him do it by blowing those kisses at him." 😄

Devon · 07/02/15 - 23:45

I wonder if he gave his last wrap to Patsy ?

Lol .... well she was hanging around all over him on BBBOTS & she was quite clearly 'on something' ;-)

Exmrs · 07/02/15 - 23:47

Surely big brother wouldn't allow drugs in the house and not say anything?
They would be sued.
No way could Alexander hide the drugs and none of the cameras pick it up.

If Alex did have drugs in the house I'm guessing bb told him to leave under the pretence of perez situation

[Deleted User] · 07/02/15 - 23:47

Maybe he used in the house, anyone could take some in if they really wanted to, maybe just coke though as I don't think it smells. I'm still very suspicious about not seeing his eviction in any form, Channel 5 would be in real trouble if he was taking drugs on tv.

Devon · 07/02/15 - 23:47

Lol and I didn't read the rest of the thread when I posted but it's obvious we all thought the same

here is the vid of Perez telling Nadi about someone's drug use
