A LOVE Island star’s partner has been arrested on suspicion of a three-year stalking campaign against his ex.
The 34-year-old was also quizzed over allegations of coercive and controlling behaviour towards a former girlfriend while in a relationship with the reality TV star.
He was bailed pending further enquiries.
Cops turned up at his partner’s home in south Oxfordshire, where he lives, in the early hours of Tuesday, December 16.
The couple had not long returned from a trip abroad when the suspect was taken into custody by Met Police officers.
His partner is said to be standing by him.
She first found fame on the ITV2 show in the early 2020s.
Meanwhile, the complainant has been interviewed by specialist officers and offered counselling and support.
A Met Police spokesman said: “A 34-year-old man was arrested on Tuesday, 16 December in south Oxfordshire by Met Police officers on suspicion of stalking and coercive and controlling behaviour.
“The arrest follows an ongoing investigation into allegations reported to police on Tuesday, 18 November.
“The offences allegedly occurred between 2022 and 2025.
“The man has since been released on bail. Enquiries remain ongoing.”

Last week, The Sun revealed the official Love Island All Stars line-up ahead of its launch next week.
The starting 12 includes two former winners plus runner ups and finalists, as well as some recent faces from the 2025 series.
It can be revealed Millie Court and Jess Harding will turn the All Stars edition into a war of the winners.
Millie, who took the win in 2021, is newly-single after her split from villa beau Liam Reardon in September, after dating on and off for three years.
What is coercive control?
COERCIVE control describes a pattern of behaviour by an abuser that is used to harm, punish or frighten their victim.
It can include threats, humiliation, manipulation, degradation and intimidation and generally monitoring or controlling the victim’s day-to-day life.
Coercive control may also involve an element of “gaslighting”.
Gaslighting is using mind games to make the victim doubt their sanity.
It can also lead to the abused person becoming isolated and dependent on their abuser.
The law classes coercive control as a form of domestic abuse.
It became a criminal offence in December 2015 under section 76 of the Serious Crime Act.
And it can be punishable with up to five years in jail.

- Putting you down in public
- Allowing you no privacy
- You are living in fear of upsetting them

- Controlling how you dress or style your hair
2023 champ Jess, 25, lasted just two months outside of the villa with her man Sammy Root.
ITV bosses are set to bring in a big new twist in the form of international islanders – who are set to be flown into the villa as bombshells to shake up the returning stars.
Other Islanders include Ronan Keating‘s son Jack and Whitney Adebayo who is hoping she sets her sights on a better man this time around – after her relationship with Lochan Nowacki crashed and burned, and very nearly ended up in the High Court over defamation claims.
