    Lindsay – who is currently undergoing daily drugs tests as part of her bail conditions – reportedly tested positive for cocaine, after being seen partying at a number of notorious Hollywood hotspots since her release.

    And in an unusual move, the star took to Twitter to admit her actions and apologise to fans, confirming her substance abuse problems for the first time, and revealing she is ‘working hard’ to overcome the drug addiction.

    To her credit, Lindsay also said she’s ‘prepared to face the consequences’ if she’s called to appear before a judge next week. ‘Regrettably, I did in fact fail my most recent drug test and if I am asked, I am prepared to appear before judge Fox next week as a result,’ Lindsay Tweeted in a statement.
