George Michael’s ex-partner, Fadi Fawaz has been arrested on suspicion of criminal damage after standing topless on the roof of the late singer’s £5 million London mansion.

The 46-year-old hairdresser has been squatting in the “Faith” hitmaker’s house since his death on Christmas Day in 2016. The mansion was left to Mr Michael’s sister in the singer’s will where Mr Fawaz was not named.

Mr Fawaz was arrested and taken away in a police van on Tuesday evening on suspicion of aggravated criminal damage and remained in custody on Wednesday night.

He had climbed down from the roof by the time police arrived at the property where they observed “extensive damage”.

He could be heard shouting and arresting release according to sources quoted by the Metro.

“I am not going there, I am not going there, I am staying here, I want to stay here,” a passerby claims to have heard Mr Fawaz shouting.
