Dave Lee Travis, the ex-Radio 1 DJ and Top of the Pops presenter, has been arrested over further claims of sexual offences, Scotland Yard has confirmed.
Mr Travis, of Mentmore, Bucks, was arrested on Monday after answering bail following his first arrest in November 2012 as part of Operation Yewtree.
His arrest comes after a senior Crown prosecutor said a number of "significant" arrests are planned of people suspected of sexual abuse.
In a statement, a Metropolitan Police spokeswoman said: "A man in his 60s who we term 'Yewtree Four' returned bail on 11 March and was interviewed.
"The man in his 60s was further arrested on suspicion of sexual offences in connection with further allegations made to Operation Yewtree."
Mr Travis has been bailed to return to police in April.
At the time of his first arrest, 67-year old Mr Travis denied any wrongdoing and stressed that the allegations against him had nothing to do with children.
