Former 'Holby City' star Jeremy Edwards was arrested in Barbados after being caught with cocaine.
The actor - who was previously engaged to S Club star Rachel Stevens - was held in a dingy police cell after being caught in possession of cocaine while on holiday on Saturday (26.01.08).
A police spokesman said: "Edwards was arrested after acting suspiciously on the street and was found with an amount of cocaine, but officers believed it was for personal use."
After being taken to court in Barbados' capital Bridgetown on Monday (28.01.08), the 36-year-old former 'Celebrity Big Brother' contestant was fined £250 and immediately released. The judge warned him if he was found with drugs again he would return to jail.
The spokesman added: "Edwards has been allowed to continue with his holiday."
Jeremy is now flying back to the UK, where he is expected to go ahead with a party celebrating his engagement to 23-year-old Lydia Metz in London's West End at the weekend.
A friend of the actor told Britain's The Sun newspaper: "Lydia it totally devoted to Jeremy. She won't be too annoyed as she is very laid back, so there is no risk of her dumping him. She is used to his partying.
"It's Jeremy's mum he needs to worry about. She's not going to be impressed at all."
Jeremy currently presents 'Cooking the Books' on Five.
