A Sussex Police spokesman told OK! Magazine: "A 25-year-old man from Chigwell in Essex was arrested on suspicion of actual bodily harm following a fight with another man. Police officers on patrol were alerted to the fight around 2:25am. As the situation calmed, the victim of the assault declined to provide a statement and the man was de-arrested. He left the area immediately."[34] Also that September, his Snapchat account was hacked and a picture of his manhood began circulating online.[35] That October, it was reported that he owed £500 in unpaid parking fines, resulting in trouble with the bailiffs.[36]
