Mario Falcone has been suspended from the latest filming of The Only Way Is Essex following recent allegations of drug-taking.
The 26-year old is in the centre of a newspaper scandal which saw footage of the star allegedly snorting cocaine at a private party.
The video, exposed by
The Sun on Sunday, is now under investigation by police.
A spokesperson for the show has confirmed to
Digital Spy that he is being banned from filming for the show until the full investigation has been completed:
"Mario will not be taking part in filming in Marbella while this matter is looked into," the source said.
Falcone has also been blocked from appearing in the 2015 calendar for TOWIE.
