A soft-porn actor was today celebrating after being found not guilty of intending to peddle £1,000 worth of Ecstasy.
Doormen found a bag full of 100 pills on Elliot Woolf, of St Helen's Road, Westcliff, as he attempted to enter Southend's Talk nightclub.
Jurors at Basildon Crown Court took an hour to return a unanimous not guilty verdict, backing the defence case that someone must have put the drugs in Woolf's jacket pocket by mistake.
Woolf, 22, works as a model and actor under the name Elliot Gunn, and has appeared on PlayStation adverts, in Sky gameshows Elimidate and The Villa, and in adult videos.
After the verdict he told the Evening Echo: "I am just so relieved it's all over. It's been hell for the last six months.
"I was about to give up on the British justice system but it has come through for me in the end."
