What happened to reality TV love rat Calum Best? Star turned fitness fanatic battled drug addiction, love child accusations and a struggle to escape his late father's shadow


A nepo-baby before the term was even coined, the star was the son of legendary late footballer George Best, who attempted to kickstart his own career on Celebrity Love Island.

The ensuing years have saw Calum a womanising reputation that wasn't helped by the release of a sex tape in 2017, while he was appearing on Celebrity Big Brother, and claims that he once fathered a love child. Later that year, Calum appeared on US dating show Famously Single and struck up a relationship with fellow reality star Brandi Glanville, but their romance ended after a fiery row which featured on screen. The three trial judges ruled Spanish state prosecutors had not done enough to convince them Calum had forced his alleged victim to put her hand down his shorts and onto his penis as she claimed in her court testimony.
