The boyfriend of a reality TV star has been arrested on suspicion of attempted murder after a nightclub acid attack left two people partially blinded.

Arthur Collins, 25, of Hertfordshire, was wanted for questioning by police in connection with an attack which injured 20 people at the Mangle E8 club in Hackney on April 17.

He was arrested at an address in Rushden, Northamptonshire, on Saturday.

Another man, 21-year old Andre Phoenix, has been charged with seven counts of grievous bodily harm after clubbers were doused with a noxious substance.

A 24-year-old man was also arrested at an address in north London but has since been released.

Collins is the boyfriend of former The Only Way is Essex star Ferne McCann. The two appeared on the front cover of this week’s OK magazine talking about their future.
