Michael Gove last night admitted taking cocaine on ‘several social occasions’.
The Tory leadership candidate said he used the banned substance when he was younger and deeply regrets it.
He told the Daily Mail: ‘I took drugs on several occasions at social events more than 20 years ago. At the time I was a young journalist. It was a mistake. I look back and I think, I wish I hadn’t done that.’
Mr Gove, 51, insisted his past mistakes should not be held against him as he battles to replace Theresa May as prime minister. She stepped down as Tory leader yesterday.
