The man, who is in his 20s and cannot be identified for legal reasons, is said to have been detained again on suspicion of perverting the course of justice.
It has been confirmed that he was not involved in the Love Island series of 2025 or the one currently airing on ITV2.
He was reportedly re-arrested at his home for allegedly trying to contact the victim who made the claims against him.
The man in his twenties has since reportedly been bailed while the Metropolitan Police continue their investigation.

A source told The Sun: ‘This second arrest is a real shock – and potentially very bad news for the ex-contestant.

‘There was an investigation going on into very serious offences that he was arrested over last year.’
The source alleged that the man might have contacted the alleged victim to ‘pressure’ them into withdrawing their claim, adding: ‘If that is true and he has done so, it is incredibly serious and he’s been very stupid.
‘The courts and CPS take a very dim view of that sort of thing for obvious reasons.’
A Met Police spokesperson said in a statement: ‘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.’
It comes after the Love Island contestant was arrested on a return trip to Gatwick Airport last November, following a woman contacting the police with the allegations.
The TV personality is also accused of assault by beating, causing criminal damage and making threats of revenge porn against his alleged victim.
Love Island returned to ITV screens this week, with a new batch of lovelorn hopefuls presided over by host Maya Jama.
The reality show will once again see the singletons put to the test in the hopes of finding love (and winning a £50,000 prize).
Love Island continues on ITV2 at 9pm.
