Jeremy McConnell has reportedly been axed from the upcoming series of Ex on the Beach.
The former Celebrity Big Brother contestant had apparently been offered a place on the new series of the MTV show, but is said to have been dropped following recent allegations of assault.
Merseyside Police confirmed earlier this month that they were conducting an investigation into an assault allegation made by a woman against a man. McConnell was named as the man by tabloids, although he has denied "any wrongdoing".
According to The Sun, bosses had planned to get him on Ex on the Beach for a while, but have changed their minds following the allegations.
McConnell's representatives and MTV both had no comment when contacted by Digital Spy.
Last month Stephanie Davis, the mother of McConnell's baby son, shot down rumours that she would appear on Ex on the Beach, making it clear that she would not be among the exes confronting Jeremy.

"I'm shocked and surprised by what I'm reading in the press today," she wrote on Twitter. "I will not be appearing on any reality tv programme anytime soon."
Davis gave birth to son Caben Albi back in January, and McConnell eventually revealed he was the father after a DNA test.
The pair first appeared together early in 2016 on Celebrity Big Brother, and had a complex relationship following their stints on the show.
Ex on the Beach airs on MTV.
