Rochdale MP Simon Danczuk has admitted taking ecstasy and cannabis

Date published: 15 June 2014


Rochdale MP Simon Danczuk has admitted taking ecstasy and cannabis.

The Sun on Sunday reports 47-year-old Mr Danczuk has confessed to taking Class A pills several times and smoking marijuana a couple of times a week in his younger days.

Mr Danczuk's confession came after his ex-wife Sonia spilled the beans to The Sun on Mr Danczuk's drug taking whilst they were married.

A very bitter Ms Milewski, who has two children with Mr Danczuk, spoke to Rochdale Online at length in 2010 about her marriage to Mr Danczuk making allegations of drug taking during their marriage but then asked us not to publish the then unsubstantiated allegations after agreeing a divorce settlement with Mr Danczuk.

Mr Danczuk told The Sun he did not use drugs during his election campaign (2007 - 2010) and has not taken drugs with his current wife, Karen.

A spokesperson for Mr Danczuk said: "This is a malicious story trying to rake up things from Simon's distant past that have nothing to do with his work as an MP. Simon has not spent his whole life trying to become an MP. He has a past life and he has been honest about that when confronted by a Sun journalist. But this has nothing to do with the work he is doing to deal with the many challenges Rochdale faces."
