A Love Island star has been re-arrested by the Metropolitan Police on suspicion of perverting the course of justice. The man, in his 20s, was initially arrested in November last year at Gatwick Airport on suspicion of multiple offences, including sexual assault, stalking, criminal damage, and assault.
Police attended his home on Monday, April 27, and arrested him again. It is alleged that he attempted to contact an alleged victim. A Met Police spokesperson confirmed: 'A man in his 20s has been arrested on suspicion of perverting the course of justice. The arrest relates to an ongoing investigation into allegations of sexual assault, stalking, criminal damage and assault. He was arrested at an address on Monday, April 27 and bailed pending further enquiries.'
The man is not linked to the current series of the ITV2 dating programme. A source told The Sun: 'This second arrest is a real shock – and potentially very bad news for the ex-contestant.' The initial arrest in November followed a police investigation launched just 12 days earlier, on November 15.
The show has faced several controversies in recent years, including the deaths of former contestants Sophie Gradon, Mike Thalassitis, and host Caroline Flack. In response, ITV introduced duty of care measures to support contestants before, during, and after their time on the show.
