Calum Best drops out of appearance on Lorraine by saying he’s ill but she doesn’t seem convinced
CALUM Best pulled out of his appearance on Lorraine after falling ill.
The Celebrity Big Brother star also dropped out of an appearance on Big Brother’s Bit On The Side on Wednesday night.
Lorraine told her viewers: “Calum’s called and he’s not well, well someone else called for him.
“We wish him all the best!”
The Sun’s Bizarre editor Dan Wootton then reminded Lorraine of Calum’s wild night out with Jamie O’Hara on Tuesday night, to which Lorraine raised an eyebrow and giggled.
On Wednesday evening it seemed Calum was more than up for coming on the show, re-posting a tweet from Lorraine’s account which read: “Tomorrow @calumbest joins @reallorraine to talk about his #CBB
experience and facing his demons #InTherapy.”
But it seems his mystery illness has really affected him, after he also pulled out of BBOTS.
Addressing the missing star, Rylan Clark said: "Finally we were supposed to have Calum Best on, but we genuinely don't know where he is. This ain't even a gag. This really ain't.
“So, I had a little thought and thought who could I put in Calum Best 's place tonight? It's got to be someone quite close to him.
“So, I love her and I think she deserves this so please be upstanding for our very own Barbara."
He added: “Maybe his new girlfriend kept him up all night?”
Calum later tweeted his apologies to both Bit On The Side and Lorraine, claiming that it had "been crazy" and that he would "make it up" to them.
He did, however, also tweet that he would be meeting up with his on-off girlfriend Lindsey Pelas.
The CBB star wrote: "Can't wait to see u 😍@LindseyPelas."
A representative for Calum also said: “Calum Best is so sorry to have not been able to attend CBOTS and Lorraine.
“This is purely due to a very bad throat infection, which resulted in him having a high fever and unable to speak.
“He has sought medical care and is being treated by doctors. He thanks his fans for the well wishes and looks forward to the CBB finale on Friday.”
Calum and Jamie's big night out came after he was given the boot from Celebrity Big Brother.
He headed to Paper Nightclub in London with his new BFF Jamie for a boozy evening surrounded by semi-naked women.
Jamie shared a video of the pair on Instagram in which he revealed he was going “straight out with my boy.”
He said: ”We're out... With my boy, we are going straight out... on the town.
”We are going to f**king live it up..."
Jamie added in a caption: ”Out with my boy @mrcalumbest gutted he didn't get to final but happy to see him...
”And now we can enjoy ourselves...️ love to everyone for supporting #cbb #cbbjaime #calmie.”
Jamie also shared a video on Snapchat showing the pair partying with female dancers at exclusive haunt in London's Soho.
Another clip also showed scantily-clad bar staff walking through the club holding bottles of luxury Champagne with sparklers attached.
The pair were partying with a group of Swiss bankers, who racked up a £20,000 bar bill throughout the night as they bought 27 bottles of pricey Cristal Champagne.
