A former contestant from the Block is back in police custody after she was hit with a string of fresh charges.
Troubled ex-reality TV star turned escort Suzi Taylor, 53, was arrested after she was allegedly caught with methylamphetamine at Southport on the Gold Coast on Thursday.
Police also allege the former star was driving a vehicle without a licence and ignored police requests to stop on Stapylton Jacobs Well Road a day before, on Wednesday, The Gold Coast Bulletin reported.
The former Penthouse Pet, whose real name is Suellen Jan Taylor, was charged with breaching a bail undertaking she signed on August 1 when she was released from custody on separate drug trafficking charges.
The former 2015 The Block contestant’s latest charges include evasion offence at night, possessing dangerous drugs, breaching bail, unlicensed driving as a repeat offender, and failing to stop on a red traffic arrow or stop line.
Taylor had her case briefly mentioned in Southport Magistrates Court on Thursday, which heard that she was in hospital under police guard.
The matter was adjourned to Friday for a ‘likely’ bail application.

The arrest comes a fortnight after Taylor was released on bail for alleged drug trafficking and other offences.
Police allege she trafficked heroin, MDMA, meth and marijuana between March 24 and July 13.
Taylor is also charged with possession of drugs, possession of firearms and more than $55,000 said to be the proceeds of trafficking.
Her defence lawyer Michael Gatenby told the bail hearing on August 1 that there was little evidence linking Taylor to the alleged trafficking or firearms and other items allegedly found in her storage shed.
He added that the $55,000 Taylor was allegedly found with could be to her career as a ‘high-class escort’.
‘There are links to celebrities and the like that are alleged to be clients of Ms Taylor, so that’s not a controversial proposition,’ he told the court at the time.

Taylor rose to fame as part of the ‘Single Mums’ renovating team on The Block alongside her then-BFF Yvonne ‘Voni’ Cosier.
Even though the pair placed last on the show, they still walked away with a $349,000 profit.
Her wild antics, including an infamous topless dance on a boat in Melbourne, made her one of the show’s most controversial stars.
As well as her reality TV stint, Taylor previously worked as a glamour model, posing for raunchy magazine photoshoots, and has also acted in the past, having an X-rated role in 2003 crime film Gettin’ Square.
Suzi also famously sparked controversy in January 2016 after claiming she had a ‘secret relationship’ with Weekend Today show host Richard ‘Dickie’ Wilkins.

‘He gave me access to his house and I would be there in my underwear waiting for him when he got home from work,’ she claimed.
But after months of sneaking around, Suzi said she was left heartbroken when Dickie suddenly ended their romance.
