Big Brother star Ellie Young denies taking cocaine in nightclub after furious Twitter row with Kayleigh Morris
The former friends launched into a bitter war of words online after partying together
BIG Brother's Ellie Young has strenuously denied taking drugs following accusations from her former housemate Kayleigh Morris.
The reality stars had partied together at Vibez nightclub on Friday night but things hit a sour note later in the evening.
Ellie, 23, was the first to take to Twitter to claim Kayleigh, 28, had insulted her.
She wrote: "When @Kmorrisx comes up to tell me how disgusting I am. some friend she is."
Kayleigh then took to her own social media account to accuse Ellie of taking cocaine, even branding her a "coke w***e" who spends all her money from personal appearances on class A drugs, but the Yorkshire lass was quick to hit back at the claims.
She told the : "Under no circumstances do I touch drugs or have ever and never will."
Ellie's representative and Director of Rippa PR, James, then told the publication: "I can confirm that Ellie does not take any illegal substances of any kind.
"A big group went out to Vibez nightclub on Friday night and there was an issue with Kayleigh.
"Due to alcohol things became heated and the girls were very nasty to one another."
However Kayleigh had a different view of events, defending her outburst online by writing: "I don't need to lie.

"Fed up of ppl thinking she's some angel. Calls me vile mouthed.
"After what I witnessed tonight she's worse or jus as bad.[sic]"
The tweets were later deleted, and speaking to the Daily Star afterwards, Kayleigh said: "I was stone cold sober. I had no drink.
"But she started the argument and her entourage ganged up on me..
"Ellie claimed I got bullied when I was young because I was a c***, so I personally attacked her with my knowledge.
"She has apologised and owned up to starting the feud hence why I can be the better person and erase the tweets."
Kayleigh was ejected from Big Brother while Ellie went on to be the eleventh housemate to be evicted on day 50, just four days before the final.
