Mr Burns, 50, is expected to be sacked as a minister and will face a Tory party probe.
He has been the MP for Bournemouth West since 2010 and was a close ally of Boris Johnson during his premiership.
In 2020 he resigned as a trade minister after a parliamentary watchdog ruled he used his position to “intimidate a member of the public”.
The Conservatives’ annual conference took place in Birmingham from last Sunday to this Wednesday.
Today’s are the latest allegations to rock the Conservative Party following a string of scandals.
Earlier this year the Tories stripped the whip from Chris Pincher after the Sun revealed allegations he drunkenly groped two men in a club.
Another anonymous Tory MP is currently on bail by the Met Police for allegations of rape.
