Olympic boxing medallist Harry Garside has been arrested over domestic violence allegations on his return to Australia from filming reality TV series I'm a Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here.

Garside was taken into custody at Sydney International Airport after police launched an investigation into reports of an incident involving a 32-year-old woman, a NSW Police spokeswoman told AAP on Tuesday.

"He has been taken to Mascot Police Station, where he is assisting police with inquiries," the spokeswoman said.

The champion men's lightweight boxer won bronze for Australia at the Tokyo 2020 Olympics and has won seven Australian national boxing championships.

He intends to compete for Australia at the Paris 2024 Olympics.

Garside recently appeared on the ninth season of I'm A Celebrity where he was runner-up to former champion netballer Liz Ellis.

The finale aired on Sunday night.
