A British tanning addict who once appeared in a TV documentary claimed that he’s been denied a mortgage — because he injects himself with an illegal drug to look like a “human solar panel,” according to a new report.

Karl Dinis, 37, of Llanishen, Cardiff, was featured on “Tantastic: 50 Shades of Orange,” which appeared on the UK’s Channel 5 in 2016, Metro UK reported.

On the program, Dinis spoke openly about using Melanotan — an unlicensed drug that has yet to be approved in the country because it hasn’t been tested for safety — to achieve a year-round tan.

He’s been using the injections for 10 years, but has claimed they’re not having a negative effect on his health, according to the report.

Dinis, who works for Cardiff Council and also owns a horse transport company, sold his Audi TT and one of his horses so he could save up money for a house.

He had his heart set on one particular property — but was let down when the lender, Kensington Mortgages, shot down his application, he told Metro Wednesday.

“Yesterday afternoon, my mortgage broker rang me,” Dinis said. “She said to me, ‘They have declined the application because they Googled you.’”

“Because I am a public figure and because of the tanning injections, they have declined my application,” he added. “They say I do not fit the criteria.”

Dinis said the company could see transactions on his bank statements, indicating that he spends up to $267 every month for the drug.

The company never gave him a reason for the denial, but he told the outlet he believes it has something to do with his habitual use of the injections.

Kensington Mortgages, when contacted by Metro, would not explain its reasoning.

“Due to client confidentiality and data protection legislation, we are unable to share any information in relation to the application,” the company said. “We would never reject an application on the basis of a Google search; we factor in a number of components that determine an individual’s eligibility.”

The three-bedroom house in Machen, south Wales, is valued at nearly $98,000 — and Dinis said he’d been paying off debts for the last two years to prepare for the purchase.

“The main reason I got rid of the Audi was to buy this house,” he told Metro. “I had three horses and I sold one, Duke, for £3,000 [nearly $3,700] to go towards my deposit.”

His Facebook and Instagram pages are filled with snaps of horses, dogs and other animals.

“It is terrible — I am still in the same position but without some things that meant a lot to me,” he added.

He said he never informed the company about the injections “because we didn’t have to as far as we were aware — primarily it’s fake tan.”

“I am absolutely fuming — I thought I was going to be moving in the house in the next month,” he told the outlet. “Everything was in place for me to move in, I was just waiting to sign the paperwork.”
