Big Brother’s Darnell Swallow spent time in prison for violating his parole on a drug dealing charge, it has been revealed.
The 27-year-old British born American has revealed to housemates he spent time in jail, but the reason for this has only just been exposed in today’s papers.
The Daily Star reports Darnell was jailed two years ago after violating the parole he was serving after being found guilty of selling marijuana in 2004.
However, after leaving the US to escape the gang culture he’d been “caught up in” Darnell is said to have turned over a new leaf, mentoring youth groups in London.
“I hope people will not judge him by this revelation,” his best friend Turan Yavuz says.
