Callum rescued from yobs by police
Playboy Callum Best was rescued by police when revellers at a Newcastle nightclub threatened to turn nasty.
This year's winner of ITV reality show Love Island was making a special appearance at the Blu Bambu in Bigg Market when he was abused.
He was given a lift in a police patrol car to get him away from any potential troublemakers, a Northumbria Police spokeswoman said.
"We gave Mr Best a short lift up the street for his own safety after he received some verbal abuse during a personal appearance at the club," she said.
The model, son of football hero George, was opening a new club event called 1 Night Stand.
Yobs began to turn abusive and he decided to leave.
Mr Best played down the incident, telling the Evening Chronicle newspaper: "I got into the police car for a laugh and was driven around the corner. That's all that happened."
