Kayla Itsines' boyfriend could face up to two years in jail

The boyfriend of Insta #fitspo sensation Kayla Itsines could face up to two years in jail after he was charged with reckless driving and caught with prescription drugs, The Advertiser reports.

The drug police allegedly found in Tobi Pearce’s possession last February, Cabolin, is commonly used to help offset the side-effects of steroid use, according to The Advertiser.

In 2015, Itsines and Pearce sued fellow social media celebrities Harley Johnstone and Leanne Ratcliffe, more widely known as Durianrider and Freelee the Banana Girl, with claims they had defamed the bikini diet pioneer and her boyfriend.

Johnstone and Ratcliffe had posted videos on YouTube claiming the Bikini Body Guide starved people and that Pearce used steroids.

The claim settled out of court.

Mr Pearce’s driving had come into question in July last year, with photos circling of the CEO’s black $500,000 Lamborghini Huracan parked illegally around Adelaide – including in a disabled parking zone and across two parking spots.
