According to Mirror Online the boyfriend of TOWIE star Ferne McCann is wanted for questioning after 20 revellers were left with burns in a nightclub acid attack.
Police say Arthur Collins, 25, should not be approached and anyone who sees him should call 999 immediately.
Ferne, 26, recently appeared on the front cover of OK magazine with Collins and spoke of her dreams of marrying the scaffolder .
Police say a corrosive liquid was sprayed over clubbers during an argument between two groups in the Mangle nightclub in Dalston, east London, early on Monday morning.
Two clubbers, aged 24 and 29, were seriously hurt in the attack and have been moved to a specialist burns hospital in Essex, where they are in a stable condition, the Metropolitan Police said.
A total of 20 people were left with burn injuries, the force added.
A Met Police statement said: "Arthur Collins, 25, of Hertfordshire, is wanted for questioning by police.
"Anyone with information on his whereabouts is urged to contact with investigators.
"He should not be approached by members of the public. If seen the public are advised to call 999 immediately."
Among those hurt was the cousin of ex-Premier League footballer Jamie O'Hara, who later described the attack as "sick".
"Then they started getting everyone out. At the time I didn't realise I had been attacked, I thought someone had dropped a cigarette on my foot but it was getting more red and stinging.
"It's just like a red circle round my toes, around the size of a 50p piece, it is more sore than if you burnt yourself, it is really stinging.
"It is scary because you just go out to have a good night and you realise how close it could have been to being a lot worse."

The substance is yet to be identified, but it is believed to have been acidic.
There has been no arrests at this stage and enquiries are continuing.
Detective Inspector Lee McCullough, from Hackney CID, who is leading the investigation, said: "We now have 20 people suffering from the effects of an acidic substance being sprayed in a confined space in a busy nightclub.
"All have burn-related injuries. The noxious substance used has not yet been confirmed but samples retrieved from the scene have been sent for analysis.
"If you were there and saw anyone involved inside or leaving the nightclub, please get in touch."
