Ferne McCann’s boyfriend Lorri Haines seen with bags of ‘suspicious white powder’

Ferne McCann’s boyfriend Lorri Haines was seen holding a bag of white powder before appearing to lift the contents to his nose in a video which emerged on Tuesday.

The partner of former The Only Way Is Essex star Ferne was seen dancing topless in the clip while holding two small clear plastic bags.

In the film obtained by The Sun, he is seen scooping the powder out of the bag and up to his nostrils, with a pal shouting in the background: ‘No! No ket, no ket.’ 

Lorri’s friend told him to ‘put the ket down’ before the entrepreneur was seen throwing the packet onto a nearby table. It has not been confirmed what substance Lorri was holding.

The man then says: ‘That’s none of your business,’ prompting Lorri to shake his head and reply: ‘None of my business.’

He then held the smaller bag up before before clapping his hands and dancing to the music.

Coupled-up: Ferne, 31, and Lorri went public with their romance earlier this month with the pair sharing pictures of one another on social media

Sources told The Sun Lorri had been partying on a yacht at the marina with six friends earlier in the day.

A source told the publication: ‘They went to an apartment and carried the party on until about 4am.’

MailOnline has contacted Lorri and a representative for Ferne for comment.

The clip surfaced three weeks after Ferne, 31, shared her first picture with Dubai-based Lorri, with the reality star writing at the time: ‘When you know, you know.’

Lorri is based in the United Arab Emirates and runs a jewellery firm, an investment business and a software company.

Authorities in the desert country have a zero-tolerance policy with regards to drugs, with the standard minimum jail sentence for possession being four years.

Television personality Ferne has famously had a rocky love life, most recently splitting from DJ Jake Padgett last year after they spent the second lockdown together.

Ferne and Jack moved in together amid the winter lockdown shortly after they began dating, and admitted that taking the next step in their relationship was its downfall.

Before that she was in a relationship with jailed acid attacker Arthur Collins, whom she shares her daughter Sunday, four, with.  

Abrupt end: Ferne’s relationship with Arthur Collins came to an abrupt end following his involvement in a shocking nightclub acid attack in 2017

Arthur, 29, is currently serving a 20-year prison sentence at Woodhill Prison, Milton Keynes, after carrying out an acid attack at a London nightclub in 2017 which saw sixteen people suffer chemical burn injuries and three people left temporarily blinded.

Ferne dumped Arthur after ­learning about the incident.

She was pregnant with her daughter Sunday when then boyfriend Arthur threw corrosive acid over a crowd on the dance floor at Mangle E8 in Dalston in April 2017, within weeks of their pregnancy announcement.

Before Arthur, Ferne was in an on-off relationship with fellow TOWIE star Charlie Sims and their tumultuous love story was captured for viewers of the reality show.
