Police have launched a manhunt after a woman was forced to the floor and raped during a 12-hour music event at the stately home of former I’m a Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here star Lady Colin Campbell.

The victim was at the Sunburn Party at Goring Castle in Sussex when she was dragged down the side of the Grade 1 listed building and raped, Sussex Police said.

The woman, who attended the event on June 16 with a friend, was making her way back from the toilets when her attacker struck from behind.

He took her to the side of the building and forced her to the floor during the attack, police added.

The suspect is described as a white man with short brown hair, brown eyes and a slit in his right eyebrow.

He was wearing a dark coloured long-sleeved jumper, light blue denim jeans, white trainers and a large black gem ring on his right hand with a pair of small black earrings.

Detective Constable Louise Lutwyche said: "The victim is understandably very shaken and upset by this distressing and frightening experience and we applaud her bravery in coming forward to us.

“If you think you know who this man is, or if you saw or heard what happened, please get in contact with us immediately.

“We have no other recent reports of this type in this area.”
