A spokesman for Scotland Yard said a man in his 60s from Bedfordshire had been interviewed when he answered bail on Monday.
He said the man was “further arrested on suspicion of sexual offences in connection with further allegations made to Operation Yewtree”.
In November Lee Travis denied any wrongdoing and said he did not want his name associated with “bloody evil” child abuse.
