Meanwhile, his former girlfriend Joanna Mjadzelics told ITV's This Morning that Watkins had said he was going to rape a baby and she had first reported him to the police in 2008, two years after they met.
Ms Mjadzelics said the singer had told her he wanted to sexually assault a baby of an "obsessed" fan and that his fans would "do anything for him".
"I couldn't believe it, I thought he was joking," she told Friday's programme.
Ms Mjadzelics said she felt police didn't believe her when she reported Watkins in 2008.
Two years later, she thought she "must have got it wrong" after no action was taken and she apologised to Watkins.
However, the second time she saw him in 2010, she said he played a "horrific video" on his laptop "and I kicked him out of my room".
Ms Mjadzelics said Watkins had changed in the time she had known him.
Promptly
"I was in love with that man until 2008 - he's not that man," she said.
The Independent Police Complaints Commission (IPCC) is investigating whether South Wales Police acted "expediently".
The force referred itself to the IPCC.
It has said the delay between Watkins' first and subsequent arrests is one of the things the IPCC will be investigating.
It had received information about Watkins from four other forces in the period before he was arrested, and this will form part of the IPCC's examination.
It is also investigating a detective sergeant from south Wales over alleged inaction regarding reports made to the police.
Chief Superintendent Tim Jones, head of South Wales Police's professional standards department, said: "South Wales Police will fully support the Independent Police Complaints Commission's independent investigation and are committed to responding promptly to its findings.
"In view of the ongoing proceedings it is inappropriate to comment further at this time."
