Steve-O Faces Drug Smuggling Allegations on Love Island

News summary

American stunt performer Steve-O, known for his role in 'Jackass', has been accused of smuggling drugs onto the set of 'Love Island' during his appearance in 2006. The allegations emerged from the late Paul Danan, who disclosed in a podcast shortly before his death that Steve-O had internally smuggled narcotics and crafted a makeshift bong from an apple while on the show. Initially, it was reported that Steve-O left the villa after a disagreement with producers and cast members, with ITV stating he became emotional and needed to go home. Danan's commentary suggests a different narrative, claiming producers were lax in their security measures, allowing Steve-O to bring in substances. ITV has declined to comment on the resurfaced claims, while Steve-O has since maintained sobriety and reflected on his past struggles with substance abuse. This incident adds to the controversial history of 'Love Island,' which has faced scrutiny over various scandals involving its contestants.
