A FORMER Towie star jailed after he was caught with \u00a370,000 worth of cocaine has been released from prison.<\/p>\n

The personal trainer has now been released from prison just two years into his jail term.<\/p>\n
His girlfriend Jessica Milford\u00a0posted photos of the couple looking glam on a romantic trip together.<\/p>\n
She said they were spending her "first birthday together in two years".<\/p>\n
The oil tycoon's daughter, 28, also shared snaps of the spa facilities at their hotel.<\/p>\n

One pal told Mail Online Hassini is now "focusing on the future<\/span>".<\/p>\n The friend added: "He's fortunate to have only served a fraction of his sentence but feels rehabilitated, and is ready to move on.<\/p>\n "Jessica has been counting down the days until he was released and is enjoying spending time together once again."<\/p>\n Hassini, who was on Towie between 2015 and 2018, was caught exchanging a brick of cocaine with accomplice Gary Bear in 2021.<\/p>\n <\/picture>STAR GONE <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/picture>TRAGIC NEWS <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/picture>sweet love <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/picture>TRYING TIMES <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n The brick, which was kept in a cardboard box, was between 85 per cent and 98 per cent pure and worth \u00a370,000.<\/p>\n When police searched Hassini's car, he told them he had "around \u00a336,000 pounds in cash, although he had not counted it yet".<\/p>\n The reality star had also stashed three smaller blocks of cocaine and drug paraphernalia at Jessica's parent's home. <\/p>\n She was arrested on suspicion of drug dealing but released after it became clear she was not involved in the drug operation.<\/p>\n Jailing him at Snaresbrook Crown Court, Judge Kwame Inyundo said: "Mr Hassini, it is clear you had an important role supplying high value drugs destined for street supply.<\/p>\n "You must have had some awareness of the scale of the operation.<\/p>\n "You are not the only two young men to find themselves in difficulty as a result of the pandemic, but people who are in far worse situations than you do not make the decision to go into criminality.<\/p>\n "It must be observed that both of you knew what you were doing, and you did so with eyes wide open."<\/p>\nMost read in Showbiz<\/h2>\n
