Ceon Broughton arriving at Winchester Crown Court yesterday morning, where he is on trial for manslaughter and supplying Class A drugs
The rapper boyfriend of Holby star John Michie blamed the actor and his wife for his own failure to get medical help for their daughter as she died of a drugs overdose, a court heard today.
When quizzed by police about Louella Fletcher-Michie's death, Ceon Broughton, 29, denied giving her the drugs and even lied that he had not taken anything either at the Bestival music festival.
The grime star said that, with a medical tent just 400 yards away, he would have carried his girlfriend but claimed her 68-year-old mother, Carol, and Mr Michie, 62, instead told him on the phone to get help from someone in a 'high-vis' jacket.
Jurors have heard he was serving a suspended sentence at the time, which prosecutors allege is why he did not seek help for his dying girlfriend.
During his first police interview, Broughton allegedly lied to officers and told them he had not taken drugs with Louella and did not know how his girlfriend had got party drug 2C-P, which he suggested was actually LSD.
Mr Michie, who has also been on Coronation Street and Taggart, watched with his family from the public gallery as the court heard details of Broughton's first police interview today.
In the interview, carried out at Poole police station the day after Louella died - on what should have been her 25th birthday - Broughton claimed she had bought the drugs herself when he was not around.
He told officers: 'I think she bought something, she bought LSD or something.
'We was just having fun and just chilling in the woods. She was tripping and then she said she had acid. She was fine at first, then it kind of spiralled.
'I called her mum and she told me to get to someone in high vis. I was trying to calm [Louella] down, she was rolling around in stinging nettles and stuff.
'Her mum and dad said they were on their way. I wanted to carry her, I wanted to carry her myself, but they told me to get help. I would have carried her myself.'

Prosecutors allege that her boyfriend, Ceon Broughton, did not get her medical care straight away because he was on a suspended sentence
Broughton said Louella had left him as he ate a toasted sandwich at lunch time, which is when he thought she had bought the drugs.
Prosecutor Simon Jones told Winchester Crown Court: 'He told officers it was definitely LSD she had taken, because she had said she had taken it.
'He confirmed later on that he did not see where she got it from and she had not said anything. He said he did not take anything.
'[Broughton] said, 'I am on community service right now, so I can't get into trouble'. When asked, he said, 'no, I did not give her anything'.
'At the end, he was asked if he wanted to add anything else. Broughton said, 'I am very distressed about this. I am in pieces man. She's not coming back'.'
In a second interview, later the same day, he told officers again he had not taken drugs at the Lulworth Castle site, Dorset, but had only had two cans of cider and two of lager.
Mr Jones said: 'He said he did not have a clear memory of the timings, but he was thinking clearly and trying to act rationally. He was asked if he
