TOWIE star James Lock has reportedly been charged with possessing illegal drugs.

The 27-year-old star was initially arrested on suspicion of possessing Class A drugs and criminal damage after the reality star and another man were involved in a dispute with a taxi driver in Dagenham, Essex, in February.

The charge was later downgraded to a Class C offence.

James – who is dating TOWIE co-star Danielle Armstrong – pleaded not guilty to possession of a Class C drug and criminal damage when he appeared in court earlier in the month.

The celebrity will next appear in court on June 27th.

The star recently had to win back his girlfriend Danielle after he admitted to sleeping with other girls before their relationship was ‘official’.
