Could Embarrassing Bodies star Dr Christian Jessen lose his job over Grindr drug boasts?

Amy Nelmes Bissett

Dr Christian Jessen will think twice before opening up to strangers on Grindr about his alleged drug haul.

Yep, the Embarrassing Bodies doc sent text messages to a would-be suitor boasting about drug-fuelled sex and how he had mephedrone, the "date-rape" drug GHB and cannabis.

He also discussed the effects of class A drugs cocaine and ecstasy and horse tranquilliser ketamine. Uh oh.

Unsurprisingly, since the text messages surfaced, sources have told The Mirror that Channel 4 bosses have called him in for "talks" this week.

The 38-year-old practicing GP is a regular on the Australian version of the show.

After the messages were published, he said: "I've been stupid but absolutely nothing happened. There was no meeting and no drugs were taken. That is the key point. It was just horny talk really."

Ewww, horny talk. Dry heave.

So, could this be the end of his long-running TV gig? Only time will tell.
