BBC broadcaster Stuart Hall has been arrested and is being questioned on historic allegations of rape.
Hall, 82, was arrested at his home in Wilmslow, Cheshire, by Lancs Police at dawn today. He was due to be interviewed on suspicion of rape and indecent assault.
A spokeswoman said: “The allegations are historic.”
Hall, who still works as a football reporter for the BBC, has not been held as part of Operation Yewtree, which is the police enquiry into abuse centred around Jimmy Savile.
Hall joined the BBC in 1959 and is best known for his role with It’s A Knockout. He was awarded the OBE in 2012 New Year Honours for services to broadcasting and charity.
