The promoter filmed scenes for the third season, which premiered in early 2019, but he was edited out of the final footage, despite being featured in promotional materials leading up to the premiere.
He also has not been confirmed to return to the series for its delayed fourth season.
Harty has continued releasing music since being booted from the series, and he released his most recent single in June.
According to The Sun, the musician appeared in a since-deleted Instagram Stories video shortly before his arrest in which he appeared to wear the same earrings as were shown in his mugshot.
In recent days, Harty had been advertising a press conference on Wednesday night, though he would have been unable to attend as he was still jailed.

In May, TMZ reported that Prince was involved in a physical altercation with rapper Tory Lanez.
Harty told Police that he was seated at a table in a South Beach club when Lanez approached and punched him in the side of his face.
A representative for Lanez denied the assault and claimed he hadn’t been anywhere near Harty at the time of the attack.
Last year, Lanez was charged with one count of felony assault with a semiautomatic firearm and one count of carrying a loaded, unregistered firearm in a vehicle after he allegedly shot Megan Thee Stallion in the foot.
