Hopefully parents will cram this down kids mouths to show people drugs kill morons who take them, even famous people.

Pretty damn evil situation this case it has to be said, very strange.

It is sad.

I don't think he himself did drugs, did he? His girlfriend did and I heard he was sad after she died, obviously. If he was doing drugs, he certainly shouldn't have been on a kids program but I'm not sure he was.

He and his girlfriend did serious amount of drugs that would kill and entire football team. You dont inject that shit up your nose to try and hide the injection holes if your a normal person with a slight habit.

Both hims and his lady were on Kids TV and both had a serious habit from what has come out, say it all really.

I suspect it was guilt that she died and he didn't. He couldn't handle it anymore. Sad for everyone.... but drugs can ruin lives.

A big part of his massive guilt after she died was because it was him who introduced her to cocaine, according to reports from friends he was an avid "party drug" (ie: not heroin) taker and would constantly offer drugs to the people around him when out on the town. It's a shame what happened to them both, but this is a cautionary tale if ever there was one. He grew up not far from where I live as well.

I was suprised to see how old he was, 42! he aged like Peter Pan! I would never have guessed he was that old.

42! Crikey I thought he was early 30s

. He looked good for his age.

He was born in Trowbridge. I didn't know that. That's just down the road from me.

I thought that kind of drug taking suposed to make you look very old, wrinkled and frankly not good looking. Mark and his girlfriend both looked perfect to me, no way you could tell they were pretty hard on the drugs.

I thought the BBC would have dropped him like a hot potato if it was found out he had taken drugs.

Well its only when its announced in the media that they sack them, as they know these things but only care when the media pick up on it

From the things people are grassing up about him he was quite a party animal, well that puts it mildly.

What next Timmy Mallet crack ho orgies!?
