The presenter was arrested and bailed on suspicion of murder and supplying class A drugs after the body of his fiancee, fellow presenter Natasha Collins, was discovered.

A statement released by police into the "unexplained" death said that the man in his 40s arrested at the scene had had his bail over suspicion of murder cancelled.

It added that he remained bailed to return in February regarding suspicion of supplying class A drugs.

The presenter has insisted he had nothing to do with his fiancee's death. Collins was found dead in the bath at the couple's penthouse home in St John's Wood, north-west London, last Thursday.

On Tuesday, an inquest heard that the death of the actress was "non-suspicious at this stage".

At the opening of the inquest at Westminster Coroner's Court, investigating officer Detective Inspector Simon Whittaker said: "The death is deemed to be non-suspicious at this stage but clearly the cause of death is unascertained and subject to further investigation."

The short session was adjourned by coroner Dr Paul Knapman until February 20. Speight did not attend the hearing.

It was reported that Collins had taken cocaine before her death. But Speight's mother, Jacqueline, said she may have died after taking drugs prescribed for a medical condition.

The Metropolitan Police said a post-mortem examination was "inconclusive". Further tests were necessary to determine the cause of the 31-year-old's death, Scotland Yard said.
