A BBC crew working on a drugs documentary caught a Radio 1 DJ on film - negotiating a deal. Brandon Block was filmed in secret ordering a pal to hand over an ecstasy pill for ten euros at a club in Ibiza.
The programme, Drugsland, was screened on BBC2 on Thursday - without anyone having recognised Block, 37. Now Spanish police are to request a copy of the show with a view to possible prosecution. A BBC insider said: "This is a right cock-up. It leaves us with egg all over our faces."
In the film Block appears wide-eyed and distant in the Space club. He calls a friend over to an undercover reporter and says: "Have you got the pill I left? Sell it to him." Then Block negotiates a discount, saying: "Twenty euros? Ten Euros. That?s my man." The DJ - known as Blocko and with the catchphrase "Oi Oi!" - turns back to the BBC man and says: "Give him your money."
He is heard hinting there are more pills - and, ironically, warning about being caught on film. In 2000 Block famously stormed the stage at the Brit Awards and attacked Ronnie Wood with chopsticks. In 2002 he was booted off London radio station Kiss for being drunk. Block, who used to date EastEnders? Jessie Wallace, never had his own Radio 1 show but has done mixes for other DJs. Radio 1 said last night: "It?s a while since he contributed."
