Sam Thompson has apologised for past homophobic tweets.
The 26-year-old reality star repeatedly called friends and other Twitter users "gay" as an insult in posts from 2013 – the year he first joined ‘Made In Chelsea’ – but has now admitted he has "grown up" and would never be so "careless" with the phrases he chooses.
He told The Sun Online: "I was wrong to use language like that.
"I’ve grown-up a lot since 2013 and would now never be so careless with my choice of words.
"As a society, we’ve also come a long way, and I think we’re now more aware of the power of the words we use."
This isn’t the first time Sam has been in trouble recently.
Earlier this month, he pulled out of a public appearance at the Voodoo nightclub in Newcastle, telling promoters he was suffering from a throat infection, but pictures later emerged of him with girlfriend Zara McDermott at a polo event instead.
Furious events boss Chris Williamson branded the reality star a "little w****r" in an angry video he shared on Twitter.
He fumed: "Sam was booked for a PA at Voodoo tonight. He sent us a message a bit earlier saying he was ill, with Strep throat in bed, was unable to make it, ‘I’m very very sorry’. "
He then shared a video of Sam telling him he was unable to "speak or swallow" and would be on "s**t form" if he came to the club.
Chris said: "I spent half my day trying to fix this problem, I need to find a replacement, are we going to rebook him?
"Then I put a story up that Sam’s cancelled. One of my buddies linked me to this story of one of his mates."
He then shared pictures of Sam and Zara at the Chestertons Polo in the Park and said: "I’m like, ‘hang on a second, who’s that **** there?’"
