Former entertainer Rolf Harris has been interviewed by British police over allegations of sexual offences.
A Metropolitan Police spokesman told AAP on Thursday an 84-year-old man was interviewed under caution on Tuesday and Wednesday by officers from Operation Yewtree.
"The interviews took place at a police station in Stafford and the inquiries by the officers from Operation Yewtree are ongoing," the spokesman said.
The inquiries stem from investigations into former BBC presenter Jimmy Savile, one of the biggest TV stars in Britain in the 1970s and 1980s, who was revealed as a prolific sex abuser after his death.
Harris was sentenced in July to five years and nine months' jail for indecently assaulting four girls in Britain between 1968 and 1986.
However the Australian entertainer is expected to serve less than three years behind bars.
In mid-October a British newspaper reported Harris could face fresh charges as a result of more than 10 new victims claiming they were abused by the disgraced artist and singer.
It was also reported in mid-October that Harris had to be moved to a new prison for his own safety after being bullied by inmates.
The convicted sex offender was moved from HMP Bullingdon in Oxfordshire to Stafford jail after being taunted by fellow prisoners.
