Celebrity Big Brother’s Lewis Bloor denies drug use after fans accuse him of ‘being on cocaine’ in photo
Star was snapped at a engagement bash with pal James 'Arg' Argent - who is currently fighting his addiction
TOWIE hunk Lewis Bloor has vigorously denied he has taken drugs after being accused by Towie fans of 'being on cocaine' in a picture posted to James 'Arg' Argent's Twitter page.
The Celebrity Big Brother star, who was evicted on Friday night's show with shock jock James Whale, is snapped in the photograph with Arg and friends at an engagement party.
Arg, who took the photo and posted it online, wrote next to it: "fresh from BB HOUSE!!! Old friends and blasts from the past at Ellis's & Ricci's engagement party... lol (sic)"
However, Lewis' blank expression in the snap led fans to inundate the comments section with speculation the star had been taking illegal substance cocaine at the event.
One wrote: "Bloor deffo in the angel dust", while another wrote: "Lewis looks like he's been on the white stuff."
A third agreed and said: "Lewis is clearly off his tits!"
And a fourth added: "Coked up to the max I reckon."
The picture has since been removed and there is currently no suggestion that the comments are true.
Representatives for Lewis said: "Lewis attended a close friends engagement party last night and was exhausted after an early call time for the Saturday Show.
"Lewis strenuously denies any claims of drug use."

Meanwhile, Arg came under fire earlier this year when he split from his on/off girlfriend of seven years Lydia Bright after she reportedly caught him taking cocaine in their home.
In scenes aired during the latest series of Towie, Lydia, 26, didn't mince her words as she told her 28-year-old ex: “You made me hate you. When I look at you, I despise you.
She then twists the knife and added: “I just can’t get my head around it. I never understand it.
"And what you did that night, for me is the most disrespectful, selfish act that I’ve ever heard of.
"So, if you saw it coming and you knew it was happening, why didn’t you walk away before you made me hate you?"
He has since appeared committed to getting himself back on the straight and narrow and has been throwing himself in at the deep end by joining a gym in order to keep himself clean.
In the meantime Lewis has found himself in the middle of a love story with fellow reality star, Geordie Shore's Marnie Simpson, after meeting on the Channel 5 show.
