Ceon Broughton arrives at Winchester Crown Court on February 28. He was jailed for more than eight years for manslaughter and supplying Class A drugs
The rapper who gave Holby City actor John Michie's daughter a 'bumped up' dose of party drug 2C-P and filmed her as she died today launched an appeal against his manslaughter conviction.
Ceon Broughton gave Louella Fletcher-Michie, 24, the powdered class A substance while at Bestival music festival, with the pair leaving the official grounds and going off into woodland together.
As tragic Louella suffered a horrifying reaction to the drug, hitting herself, screaming like a 'wild animal' and even trying to eat thorns, Broughton, 30, laughed and filmed her suffering.
During the trial, his barrister Stephen Kamlish QC argued that jurors could not be certain Louella could have been saved or that Broughton had even supplied the drug.
The grime star was jailed for eight and a half years.
Mr Kamlish today confirmed they will be appealing his convictions for manslaughter and supplying class A drugs.
He said a file is now being prepared for a judge to look at and rule whether it should go before the Court of Appeal.
During a four week trial at Winchester Crown Court, Hants, jurors heard Broughton failed to seek help for his girlfriend, despite her father Mr Michie, 62, and mother Carol, 68, pleading with him to do so.
Tragically, despite her parents making the 130-mile dash from their north London home to Bestival, at Lulworth Castle, Dorset, on September 10, 2017, Louella could not be saved.
Louella's body was discovered by security guard Craig Welsh an hour into what would have been her 25th birthday.

As he was sentenced last week, Broughton, who refused to give evidence during the trial, finally apologised to his girlfriend's family, through Mr Kamlish.
He said: 'I am sorry I did not do more to save Louella. Sorry for the suffering I have caused to everyone who loved her and I want to make things right.'
Former Taggart and Coronation Street star Mr Michie said every night he has the 'trauma' of seeing images in his head of his daughter suffering.
Fighting back tears, he said: 'I wake every morning to face life starting again without Louella, our daughter, our sister, our friend. Our family now broken.
'It makes no sense, our beautiful Louella should still be with us on any measure of humanity.
'There will be no more yoga, no more running round the outside of Arsenal's stadium, no more family fun and life. Our lives have forever been diminished.
'She was wise beyond her years and trusting - perhaps too trusting.
'I go to bed each night with the trauma of the image of her crying out to her father and mother, sister and brother to help her, but there was only one person who could help.
'Losing her has made me want to move away from our home, to stop having to pass her room, due to the gut wrenching pain which those who have lost a child or loved one will understand.'
Broughton, of Enfield, north London, was convicted of Louella's manslaughter and supplying class A drugs.
The rapper, who has worked with stars including Skepta and Wiley, admitted two further counts of supplying 2C-P to Louella and a friend at Glastonbury festival earlier in 2017.

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.
