A TV chef was arrested on April 11 on suspicion of rape, sexual assault and causing a person to engage in sexual activity without consent over an alleged January incident in London.
The man was questioned in custody for several hours and has since been released on bail while Metropolitan Police inquiries continue.
Police said a female complainant is being supported by specially trained officers as the investigation proceeds.
The case became public after the Telegraph reported the allegations on Monday, identifying the suspect only as a media personality.
