A singer was accused of rape by a teenager after a gig in Sussex.

Aggro Santos, who came to national fame on I’m A Celebrity, Get Me Out Of Here, was one of two men arrested after a student ball at the weekend.

A woman in her late teens claimed she had been attacked at a hotel after the gig.

Rap star Santos and a second man have been released on bail until next month while police investigate further.

The singer is represented by Phil Smith, of Tuckers Solicitors, who has previously acted for Jade Goody’s ex-partner Jack Tweed.

Mr Smith said: “At this stage this is purely an allegation which has been and is vehemently denied by my client.”

Mr Santos, 22, played to hundreds of students at the University of Chichester’s summer ball on Friday night, where tickets were up to £40 a head.

After the gig, he is understood to have returned to the Ship Hotel in North Street, Chichester, with a group of people for a party.

Sussex Police were called to the hotel early on Saturday morning after a woman claimed she had been raped.

Mr Santos and the second man, aged 20, were arrested at the hotel.

They were questioned in custody and later that day were released on bail without charge until June 20.

Mr Santos is best known to the wider public for his stint on the 2010 version of the ITV reality television show I'm A Celebrity, Get Me Out of Here.

He appeared alongside comedians Dom Joly and Jenny Eclair, singer Shaun Ryder, Olympic champion Linford Christie, health guru Gillian McKeith, politician Lembit Opik and actors Nigel Havers and Britt Ekland. The contest was won by X-Factor star Stacey Solomon.

The 22-year-old Brazilian-born rapper, real name Yuri Santos, was nominated for Best Newcomer at the Urban Music Awards last year.

Before Friday's event, at the university's Zee Bar, he used his Twitter site to write "About to rock Chichester!" to 64,906 followers.

No-one from the Ship Hotel was available to comment yesterday.

A spokesman for the University of Chichester confirmed Mr Santos played at the ball but said the university was unaware of any incidents afterwards or whether any students were involved.
