Veteran comedian Jimmy Tarbuck has been arrested in connection with a historical child sex abuse allegation.
Tarbuck, 73, was questioned by North Yorkshire Police on April 26 in relation to an incident which allegedly occurred in the late 1970s in Harrogate, North Yorkshire, when the victim was a young boy.
The entertainer is understood to have been arrested at his home in Kingston upon Thames, southwest London, and released on bail.
The arrest was made following information passed by Metropolitan Police officers working on Operation Yewtree to North Yorkshire Police.
A force spokesman said: "North Yorkshire Police can confirm that a 73-year-old man has been arrested in connection with a historic child sex abuse investigation in Harrogate.
"The man was arrested in Kingston upon Thames on Friday, 26 April 2013.
"Following questioning, he was released on police bail pending further enquiries.
"The complaint relates to an incident that occurred in the late 1970s when the victim was a young boy.
"It would not be appropriate to comment further at this stage."
Tarbuck has spent more than 50 years in television.
Born in 1940 in Liverpool, he was a schoolmate of John Lennon and his first television breakthrough came with It's Tarbuck 65! in 1964.
In 1994 he was awarded an OBE by the Queen for his services to showbusiness and charity.
Last November he performed in The Royal Variety Performance at the Royal Albert Hall in London.
His daughter is the actress, television and radio presenter Liza Tarbuck.
