Recently dumped Dancing on Ice star Bez has confessed he once took drugs on a plane while sitting next to Piers Morgan.
The Happy Monday’s star was the latest celebrity to be eliminated from the popular ITV skating competition after he found himself in the skate-off against Coronation Street legend Sally Dynevor.
Although fans are devastated that his crazy skating antics have come to an end, the 57-year-old has shared some of his wild stories from his glory days in the band in his autobiography Freaky Dancing.
And it’s fair to say the dad-of-two didn’t fail to impress as he shared one uncomfortable flight with none other than the hot-headed former Good Morning Britain presenter while he sneakily partook in heavy drug use.

The star explained in his book how the unusual duo found themselves sat next to each other while they were travelling back from Rio de Janeiro in the 1990s during the peak of his fame.
Bez – whose real name is Mark Berry – had been painting the town red with the rest of his band while he enjoyed a five-day cocaine binge during their stay and it was clear to see he wasn’t ready to stop once he’d boarded the flight.
But what he wasn’t expecting was quite how full the plane was as passengers scrambled for seats on the jam-packed airline.

And it appeared as thought there was only one seat available for the singer which just happened to be next to the Britain’s Got Talent judge himself.
He recalled: “When I got there, I realised instantly why no one had wanted to sit in this seat. My neighbour was Piers Morgan who was at the time a gossip columnist for the Sun.”
Luckily, his fellow passenger wasn’t happy to be sitting beside him either and quickly pretended to drift off to sleep so that he was in no way connected to the pop star.

As he reflected on the flight, the dad-of-two pondered over why he wasn’t popular company to be around and blamed their lack of conversation down to his heavy drug use on the flight.
He added: “I think it was something to do with the fact that I kept putting a blanket over my head to snort the remainder of the coke I had on me before we got home – and lighting spliffs after each session.
“Piers wouldn’t even talk to me in case the other journalists thought he was up to the same nonsense … Luckily it was a Brazilian Airlines plane – so I got away with murder.”
But this wasn’t the only jaw-dropping situation the star found himself in during his music career, as Bez – who has built up an army of new fans following his short-lived stint on Dancing on Ice – explored further in his new book.
