Caroline and Lewis started dating earlier this year, after being introduced by mutual friends, and made their relationship official in August.

The pair have been seriously loved-up on Instagram, and were seen looking cosy together just days ago.

The arrest comes just days before the ITV2 presenter was due to fly out to South Africa for the upcoming winter Love Island series, which is kicking off on 8 January, 2020.

It is not yet known if the arrest will affect her hosting role on the show.

Speaking about what we could all expect, she previously teased the ‘hottest show ever’.

‘I literally cannot wait, it is going to be so hot,’ she told The Sun. ‘Probably the hottest one yet.

‘Cape Town, can you believe it? Love Island’s twice a year now, it’s going to be mad.’

Metro.co.uk has contacted Caroline’s reps for a comment.
