“My club is an upmarket venue where people come to drink champagne and feel spoiled,” Mick explained.
“All these rows they keep filming don’t show the club in a good light and I’m worried it’s putting people off coming, which is the last thing I want.”
He continued: “Allowing the Sugar Hut Honeys to be called slags is the final straw. I would never allow that to happen in my venue. I’ve had enough. I’m out.”
Mick decided to quit the reality series in 2013 and went onto become a property developer.
