The Wanted were reportedly investigated by police after claims surfaced that they chucked drink over a passer-by from a balcony.

Dr Todd Swift told The Sun that he was walking by the Marylebone Hotel in London when he was drenched in drink at the hands of The Wanted, who were seemingly celebrating Jay McGuiness' birthday.

He said: "What sort of example are they setting to their young fans? I came out of the gym and was walking down the street. Suddenly I was hit with a lot of liquid. It was not, as the police claim, a glass of champagne. It was a lot of liquid. It went all over my hat, jacket, shirt and face. I looked up to the second floor and there were three young guys laughing at me. One of them said, ‘P*** and beer, mate'."

A spokesman for Scotland Yard confirmed that they had been notified of the incident, adding that no-one was charged due to insufficient evidence. They said:

"Police were called at around 12.20pm on Thursday, July 25, to a report of a man having been verbally threatened and having had a liquid substance thrown over him at a hotel in Marylebone. Officers returned the next day, July 26, and spoke to the party identified. It was ascertained that a glass of champagne had been thrown, but there was no evidence of who, if anyone, had actually done this or been involved in any verbal altercation. The victim was informed that without any further evidence there were no further lines of enquiry to pursue."
