Love Island's Shaughna Phillips has been "shocked" by the recent arrest of her boyfriend Billy, according to reports.
The pregnant reality star, 28, is due to give birth to the couple's first baby in March and representatives have asked that she be given "privacy" during this time.
Billy's arrest is being reported by OK! and a spokesperson for the influencer, who starred in Winter Love Island in 2020, told the publication that she had “absolutely no knowledge" of any activity involving the allegations against her other half.
“Shaughna had absolutely no knowledge of any activity involving the allegations against Billy,” a representative for the star told OK! .
They also said that she "will be openly assisting the police with their enquiries".
“We kindly ask the public to be mindful of the imminent birth of Shaughna’s baby and allow her some privacy during this difficult time," they added.
A pal close to Shaughna also told OK! : "She's feeling shocked."
Shaughna announced her pregnancy in October but was still keeping tight-lipped about who her partner was at the time, having previously expressed her intention to keep him out of the public eye.
She recently opened up about her relationship with property developer Billy, telling OK! she didn't want to make his identity public as he wanted to stay under the radar of her fame.
She explained at the time: “It’s not my decision. If I could share him, I would. He just doesn’t want to be in the public eye. I have to respect his wishes.
"Never say never. I’m sure one day he will be out there because he’s such a big part of my life. But for now, he’s OK sitting in the background.”
Speaking about how they met, Shaughna previously said: “I’ve known him for years. We knew each other as teenagers and we were in the same circles.
“But we’ve both had partners and it’s never really been the right time. We were friends beforehand and then we got together romantically around summer 2020. It was around the time things started to open again after lockdown and we could mingle. And then we went back into multiple lockdowns and he moved into my flat. So we kind of fast-tracked.”
