He was reportedly arrested at Gatwick Airport.
A former Love Island contestant has reportedly been arrested on suspicion of sexual assault, stalking, and coercive control.
The Sun report that the man, who previously appeared on Love Island, was arrested as he disembarked a plane which had flown into Gatwick Airport.
It's been reported that a woman contacted the police with the allegations.
The man, who has not been identified for legal reasons, has also been accused of criminal damage, assault by beating, and threats of 'revenge porn' against his alleged victim.
A source explained: “These incredibly serious allegations are the last thing the show and ITV need given all the problems Love Island has faced in the past.
“The network bosses will make sure they keep this guy away from the show, and any links to ITV, if any of this is proven.
“We know the police are taking this very seriously.”
A spokesperson for the Metropolitan Police said: “He was arrested on suspicion of multiple offences, including sexual assault, stalking, criminal damage and assault.
“A woman has been offered specialist support by officers.”
ITV bosses reportedly know about the investigation.
