Jim Davidson, who was arrested by police investigating the Jimmy Savile abuse scandal, "vigorously denies" the claims against him, the comedian's solicitor has said.
Allegations dating back 25 years have been made by two women, according to lawyer Henri Brandman.
Davidson, 59, was one of two men arrested on suspicion of sexual offences as part of Operation Yewtree.
Both individuals fall under the strand of the investigation termed 'others' and the Metropolitan Police said the allegations are not linked to Savile.
Officers said a 53-year-old was held in Hampshire at around 8am and a 59-year-old in west London at around midday.
Both men were later released on bail until March pending further inquiries.
Davidson had reportedly been detained at Heathrow Airport as he returned to the UK to be a contestant on Channel 5's Celebrity Big Brother.
Six men and a woman were seen leaving Davidson's house in Stockbridge, Hampshire, carrying boxes.
The late Sir Jimmy Savile In a statement, Mr Brandman said: "Two women have made allegations in respect of Jim that date back approximately 25 years.
"The complainants were then in their mid 20s. Jim vigorously denies the allegations.
"He answered police questions as fully as he was able after this passage of time.
"He has not been charged with any offence. Neither he nor I will be making any further comment."
Scotland Yard is leading a nationwide investigation into allegations against disgraced television presenter Savile and a number of other high profile figures.
They have separated the inquiry into three strands: claims against Savile, those involving Savile and others, and those involving others.
Officers have questioned a number of people including former pop star Gary Glitter, comedian Freddie Starr and PR guru Max Clifford.
Last month, police said a total of 31 allegations of rape had been made against former Top Of The Pops presenter Savile.
Some 589 people have come forward with information relating to the scandal, with a total of 450 complaints against the BBC presenter and DJ, mainly alleging sexual abuse.
Detectives have recorded 199 crimes in 17 force areas in which Savile is a suspect.
