Calum rescued from yobs by police - Nov 3 2006
Calum Best had to be rescued by police when revellers at a nightclub threatened to turn nasty.
This year’s winner of ITV reality show Love Island was making a special appearance at the Blu Bambu in Newcastle’s Bigg Market, when he was abused in the early hours of this morning.
He was given a lift in a police patrol car to get him away from any potential troublemakers, a Northumbria Police spokeswoman said.
"We gave Mr Best a short lift up the street for his own safety after he received some verbal abuse during a personal appearance at the club," she said.
The model and playboy, son of football hero George, was opening a new club event called 1 Night Stand and had been in the venue from 9pm.
Yobs began to turn abusive later in the evening, and he decided to leave.
Calum played down the incident, telling the Evening Chronicle newspaper: "I got into the police car for a laugh and was driven around the corner. That’s all that happened."
Love Island’s Best has fashion date - Sept 10, 2020
Love Island winner Calum Best is to jet into Ireland later this month for a high-profile fashion event. In his first Irish appearance since winning the reality television competition, the top model will be one of the celebrity guests at the West Coast Cooler Glamour Fashion Show in Dublin.
The shows, which will feature a series of celebrity guests, are taking place in the Radisson SAS Hotels in Dublin, Athlone, Cavan, Sligo, Letterkenny, Galway, Cork and Limerick during September and October. Calum will be attending the Dublin show in the Radisson SAS Hotel on September 25 where he will be interviewed by the host Alan Hughes.
Guests at the shows will view fashions from selected boutiques and designers from around the country, as well as get tips from leading models, stylists and celebrity guests. Supermodel Caprice and Fair City’s David Mitchell were just some of the well-known names who attended the event last year.
Last month, millions of television viewers tuned in to watch Bianca Gascoigne and Calum, who were both helped to fame due to their footballer fathers, be crowned the winners of Love Island. The son of footballing legend George Best became romantically entangled with Paul Gascoigne’s 19-year-old stepdaughter on the show. Calum was flown in to the show after Bianca said she wanted to find love with a Calum Best clone, and the couple were voted into the Love Shack within hours.
