Speaking to the Daily Star, the glamour model revealed: ‘I’ve been speaking to Lee through friends and I am concerned about what he’s going through.’

‘He’s having a tough time at the minute, and no matter what happened in the house, he knows I’m here for him if he needs me.’

30-year-old Lee was arrested in April after police caught him driving ‘erratically.’ They arrested him on suspicion of drink driving and he spent the night in a police cell.

Lee reportedly urinated on the floor of the police cell, leading him to be charged with criminal damage.

The pop star appeared at court to face charges on May 2. His band mates Simon Webbe, Duncan James and Anthony Costa turned up too in support.

Casey and Lee shared a fling during their time in the Big Brother house, but Casey was ceremoniously dumped before the nations eyes when Lee fell for American housemate, Jasmine Waltz.

Jasmine and Lee dated briefly before calling it quits, with Jasmine accusing Lee of cheating on her with a man.

Casey said: ‘His heart is in the right place but he’s just stupid sometimes... I’m glad we didn’t get together in the house and nothing would ever happen between us now.’

‘But I don’t hold grudges and I’m here for him if he needs me.’
