The probe began in 2015 when a complainant came forward after having a relationship with the star between 2013 and 2014.

A source told the Sun on Sunday that the star denies the claims but is worried about being charged.

They said: ‘You can see the toll it has taken on them. They have started to lose a lot of weight.’

The star could be convicted of either ‘reckless’ or ‘intentional’ transmission. 

For a reckless transmission conviction the star must have known they had HIV, understood how it spreads and still failed to use a condom.

Thames Valley Police’s Complex Case Unit officers are seeking medical records to confirm if the star knew about their condition before the relationship began in 2013.
