So we all remember Marco Pierre White Jnr from Celebrity Big Brother when, to put it mildly, we were quite surprised by his behaviour. As in, he appeared to have sex with another woman on live TV while his fiance watched at home.

Anyone wondering what he's been up to recently will be mildly interested to know that, according to The Sun, he's just been sentenced to 120 hours of community service for using his friend's credit card to buy drugs - and the way he went about it was pretty bold to say the least.

While the media are reporting that the defendant, model Carina Evans, is Marco's ex girlfriend, she claims they were never in a relationship. Either way, prosecuter laid out the events that have led to his sentencing: "On the 29th of February at about 9:30am this defendant attended the home address of the complainant.

"He is described a dishevelled and asked for some food. She gave the defendant her credit card for the purpose of allowing him to use it to buy food.

"He left her address at 10.30am. The Bank of America contacted the complainant because it had come to their attention there were a high volume of transactions being recorded against her card.

"The defendant then contacted the complainant saying he had been over charged by the bank and needed her to unblock her card to pay off bail because he claimed he had been arrested.

"He hadn’t been arrested and didn’t need to pay bail. He had then gone on to spend more money in a series of shops".

In fact, Marco went to the Apple store, Sunglasses Hut and got a load of Ubers. The whole thing totalling £2500. Fascinating that he thought this would go unnoticed.

While sentencing Marco, The Sun reports that Chief magistrate Emma Arbuthnot said: "You pleaded guilty on the first day of trial to using your ex-partner’s card for up to £2,500, possibly more, which you used to obtain goods which I assume you then sold to obtain drugs."

This isn't the first time Marco's come up against the law; in 2011 he received a conditional discharge for a public order offence and in June this year admitted drug driving and was fined £400 as well as banned from the road.
