Towie star Ferne McCann’s fresh agony as new man Lorri Haines seen ‘sniffing white powder’
TOWIE star Ferne McCann was facing fresh agony last night as video emerged of her new fella appearing to sniff white powder.
Lorri Haines, 30, dances topless wearing white shorts as he holds two small, clear pouches.
He twice scoops up powder from a bag. At one point, a pal can be heard shouting: “No, No Ket, No Ket.”
The man tells tattooed Haines to “put the Ket down”, before he is seen chucking a packet on to a table.
The footage, taken in a Dubai apartment, emerged a month after Ferne, 31, posted her first photo with Lorri on Instagram, captioned: “When you know, you know.”
Last night, Haines told The Sun he was not taking drugs and was “joking about’’.
But a source said: “Ferne will be stunned by this video, whether he was joking or not”.
Unlucky-in-love Ferne has a child with ex Arthur Collins who is serving 20 years for injuring 14 people in an acid attack in a London club.
She declared love for her new boyfriend by posting gushing tributes on Valentine’s Day.
“Thank you for showing me integrity and honesty.
“Most importantly, thank you for showing me true love.”
In the video, Haines — known as “Lozza” to pals — appears to clean his sniffing equipment, inspects it, then dunks it into the bigger pouch and shoves it towards the camera.
He then steps back and the off-camera man says: “That’s none of your business”.
Haines shakes his head and replies: “None of my business.”
PARTYING ALL DAY
He puts the bag back down on the table with the smaller packet and starts dancing and clapping before the clip ends.
The Dubai-based Essex man has been seeing Ferne since late last year.
Sources said he had been partying on a yacht at the marina all day with six pals, before going to a mate’s private rented pad where they partied until the early hours.
A source said: “They went to an apartment and carried the party on until about 4am.”
Haines, who runs a high-end jewellery firm, investment business and software company relies on an image as a decent, trustworthy businessman to promote investments in Bitcoin and other products.
But this tape, even if it shows him joking about, suggests questions about his judgment.
