BRITISH detectives investigating the Jimmy Savile sex abuse scandal have arrested a man in his 60s, police say.
The man, from London, was held at 6.45am local time on Monday on suspicion of sexual offences.
He was arrested as part of Operation Yewtree, the investigation into allegations of sex abuse surrounding Savile, a prominent BBC entertainer, and others, and falls under the strand termed "others", Scotland Yard said.
The force is leading the national probe into claims made against the disgraced TV presenter and figures in the entertainment industry.
The man is the sixth suspect to be arrested - and the seventh person to be questioned - in connection with the Yewtree operation which involves a team of 30 officers and has already cost around STG2 million ($A3.08 million).
The latest arrest comes after PR guru Max Clifford protested his innocence after being questioned by detectives last Thursday.
The publicist, who was held at his Surrey home on suspicion of sexual offences and questioned by police, said the allegations were "damaging and totally untrue".
Other high-profile names arrested in connection with the investigation include Gary Glitter, comedian Freddie Starr, DJ Dave Lee Travis and a man in his 70s, reported to be former television producer Wilfred De'Ath.
Last month the force said it was dealing with around 450 potential victims, the vast majority of whom claimed they had fallen prey to Savile.
Officers are looking at three strands within their inquiry: claims against Savile, those against Savile and others, and those against others.
