Dan Osborne has been suspended from his role on The Only Way is Essex, after he allegedly threatened to stab his ex-girlfriend.
Show bosses are now investigating footage of a foul-mouthed rant caught on camera against his former lover Megan Tomlin, in which he's said to make the threat to the mother of his 14-month-old son Teddy.
Speaking to The Sun newspaper, a spokesperson for the reality series said: "We will be speaking to Dan about this. In the meantime he will not be taking part in filming."
The decision comes after a recording was published this weekend of Dan apparently threatening Megan if she found somebody else to love, despite them splitting over 12 months ago.
It's believed the recording dates from last November when Dan was arrested for assault but later released without charge.
Last month, Dan underwent police questioning voluntarily after Megan alleged he physically and verbally abused her over the holiday period.
A police spokesperson said: "A 23-year-old man from Barking voluntarily attended a pre-arranged police interview on February 23. The investigation remains ongoing."
Referring to Megan's complaint, they added: "Police were contacted at around 12.30pm on January 30 with reports of historic domestic incidents. Investigations are ongoing."
