In a statement issued by his party, he said he was "standing down" from his position due to personal reasons. He said he had been "released without charge".

Thomas was appointed Welsh party leader by Nigel Farage in February.

Thomas said: "I stress that I have done nothing wrong, but I do not want the coming headlines to be a distraction from the fantastic work our Senedd team is doing in holding this government to account."

Thomas did not take part in First Minister's Questions earlier today.
