Comedian Freddie Starr has been freed on bail for a second time after being questioned by police investigating the Jimmy Savile abuse scandal.
The 69-year-old returned to speak to officers earlier today having been first arrested yesterday on suspicion of sexual offences, and then bailed in the early hours of this morning.
A Scotland Yard spokesman said Starr has been re-bailed to a date in December.
He was interviewed under the strand of the investigation classed as "Savile and others".
Starr had been publicly implicated in the Savile scandal over the past month, but has strongly denied the accusations.
Last month, he branded Savile "despicable" and "disgusting", and urged police to interview him so he could clear his name.
His arrest follows that of Gary Glitter, whose real name is Paul Gadd, last weekend.
The former pop star was questioned at a central London police station after being detained at his home in the capital.
He was released later that day but Scotland Yard did not comment on his release.
Savile, who died last year at the age of 84, is now believed to have been one of the UK's most prolific abusers, with about 300 possible victims.
Scotland Yard is leading a national investigation into the television and radio star's activities.
Detectives are following 400 lines of inquiry, while the BBC has launched an inquiry into the culture and practices at the corporation in the era of Savile's alleged sexual abuse.
It is also looking at the decision-making process that saw a Newsnight investigation into Savile's activities shelved.
The review, led by Nick Pollard, former head of Sky News, will report back on its findings later this month.
Savile's estate, reportedly worth £4.3m (€5.4m), has been frozen in response to the mounting allegations.
