The allegations date back to the 1990s, when the suspect appeared alongside some of Britain’s most famous stars in a number of popular TV shows.

His family, including his partner, were stunned by his arrest.

The soap star is also said to be shocked by the accusations.

A police spokesperson said: ‘A man has been arrested on suspicion of historic child sex crimes involving five victims. Officers investigating allegations relating to the 1990s arrested a man.

‘He was arrested on suspicion of multiple sexual offenses involving five men who were teenage boys at the time of the alleged offence.

“He has been released on conditional bail while the investigation continues.”
