The boyfriend of a Holby City star's daughter has blamed her parents for her drugs death, a court heard yesterday.
When questioned by police, Ceon Broughton, 29, denied giving a fatal overdose to Louella Fletcher-Michie at the Bestival music festival. He also lied that he had not taken any drugs himself, jurors heard.
Broughton, a rapper, said that, with a medical tent just over 400 yards away, he would have carried 24-year-old Miss Fletcher-Michie there.
But he claimed that her father John Michie, 62, and mother Carol, 68, 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 in September 2017.
Mr Michie, who plays surgeon Guy Self in Holby City and has appeared in Coronation Street and Taggart, watched with his family in the public gallery yesterday as Winchester Crown Court heard details of Broughton's first police interview.
Mr Michie wore a T-shirt printed with a tribute to his daughter. Clearly visible beneath the actor's coat and jacket, it carried a photo of her face and the words 'Lou forever'.
Miss Fletcher-Michie, who died the day before her 25th birthday, is the first person known to have been killed by the increasingly popular designer drug 2C-P. She would have survived had Broughton not been 'thinking only of himself', the court has heard.
Miss Fletcher-Michie initially had a 90 per cent chance of recovery. But jurors have been told that instead of phoning 999, Broughton stayed in a secluded wooded area at the Bestival event with her, documenting her decline and mental distress in disturbing videos and photos on his mobile phone.

During his first police interview, Broughton said he had taken no drugs with Miss Fletcher-Michie and did not know how she had got 2C-P.
In the interview, conducted the day after Miss Fletcher-Michie died Broughton claimed she had bought the drugs herself and he had not been there.
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.

Prosecutors allege that Broughton (seen with Louella) did not get her medical care straight away because he was on a suspended sentence
'I called her mum and she told me to get to someone in high-vis. I was trying to calm [Miss Fletcher-Michie] 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.'
Broughton said Miss Fletcher-Michie 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 the court: 'He told officers it was definitely LSD she had taken, because she had said she had taken it.
'He confirmed later that he did not see where she got it from. He said he did not take anything. [He] 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'.'

Mr Michie said he desperately pleaded with security staff to let him into the site to help his dying daughter and even offered them his phone which contained a pinpoint GPS location of the couple
In a second interview, later the same day, he told officers again that he had not taken drugs at the Lulworth Castle site in Dorset. He said he had only two cans of cider and two lagers.
'He said he did not have a clear memory of the timings, but he was thinking clearly and trying to act rationally,' Mr Jones said. 'He was asked if he was not telling the officers something.
He said, 'Something I am not telling you? No, there's nothing'. The officers suggested he had not ensured Louella got the medical attention she needed. He said, 'Yeah man, I did. Oh man, I was trying to give her good medical care'.
He confirmed he did not dial 999. He said that was because people said they were sending help.
'The officers suggested he might have been tripping himself.
'He said, 'I was in a good position to take care of her. I acted rationally. You're talking like I want her to be dead'.
He said, 'I was caring for her. I was, I was, I was caring for her'.' The prosecutor added that Broughton claimed to officers that when he told friends at the festival he had drugs he was just joking.
But jurors have heard that blood samples showed he had 2C-P, MDMA, ketamine, diazepam and alprazolam in his system.
Broughton, of Enfield, north London, has already admitted two counts of supplying class A drugs in relation to giving Miss Fletcher-Michie and a friend 2C-P at Glastonbury Festival in June 2017.
He denies supplying Miss Fletcher-Michie the same drug at Bestival, and her manslaughter. The trial continues.

The boyfriend of a Holby City star’s daughter has blamed her ...
It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.
Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
