Caroline Flack laughs off drug claims after fans mistake pic of kids PEN for a rolled up bank note.
Some fans thought the crayon on her table looked suspicious.
CAROLINE Flack has laughed off claims of drug use after her fans mistook a crayon for a rolled-up note in an Instagram picture.
The 36-year-old shared a candid photo from a poker night she held at her home, but rather than enjoy the insight into her private life, some eagle-eyed fans were more interested in what was on the table next to her.
One fan commented: "Rolled up note there, Caroline.... and a card."
Caroline later went on to say to one critic, "it's a child's crayon lol".
On Tuesday afternoon, Caroline shared a picture of the incriminating pen on her Twitter page.
She later added: "Thank god no one asked what I use the Vaseline for ... MY LIPS PEOPLE, MY LIPS."
However, despite her humour about the furore today, a fortnight ago she wasn't taking it as lightly.
The comments about the 'rolled-up note' clearly spooked her, and she went on a deleting spree, removing any query that could falsely hint she dabbles in illegal substances.
A friend of the star told Now magazine: "Caroline uploaded that picture of herself.
"As soon as people started commenting and suggesting people were taking drugs, despite the fact that the picture clearly shows a pen on the table, she panicked and started deleting the comments."
Earlier this year Caroline lost her lucrative gig presenting the X Factor, but her recent stint fronting Love Island was seen as a huge ratings success.
The pal added: "Caroline is at a turning point in her career and she does not want to be associated with illegal drugs in any way."
