It's not a pretty sight

He seems to be on the mend…

Jeremy McConnell was rushed to hospital in Poland after his septum collapsed because of his cocaine use.

The Daily Mail obtained pictures of him leaving the hospital with a friend, and his nose is completely bandaged up.

The reality star spent time in prison at the end of last year, and when he came out, promised to lead a clean lifestyle because of his son.

“I should be held responsible for what I did that day,” he told The Sun.

“I got sent to prison and I did the time. I hit self-destruct, it was my lowest point. Jail gave me time to reflect and I’ll never make those mistakes again.”

He has not seen his one-year-old son, Caben, in seven months.

Speaking to the publication after his surgery, Jeremy opened up about the extent of his drug use.

“There were times when I would get £200, shove it up my nose and do double barrelled lines. We used to call them the M50 after the motorway in Dublin.”

“If I do a line I’m paranoid to f*ck. I’m so paranoid I’ll be looking under the door and out of the blinds. I think the cleaners are hit-men. I think I’ll get a bullet off a cleaner.

“I haven’t touched drugs since before prison,” he insisted.

“I’d love to stop drinking one day too but right now, I’m doing the best I can and I do still have a drink when I see my friends.

“I could relapse and take drugs again today but I have to tell myself what I want in my future. I want my son.”
