Coronation Street star Craig Charles has been arrested on suspicion of possession of a class A drug, it has been confirmed.
The 42-year-old, who plays cabbie Lloyd Mullaney, was suspended from the soap in June in the wake of publication of newspaper pictures of him apparently smoking crack cocaine.
The shots in the Daily Mirror allegedly showed him taking the drug in the back of a car during a journey from London to Manchester.
A spokesman for Scotland Yard said: "We can confirm a 42-year-old man attended a London police station on the morning of August 10, and was arrested on suspicion of possession of a class A drug.
"He was later released on bail and will return on a date in September, pending further inquiries."
The Daily Mirror alleged the pictures were taken after the star finished his funk show on BBC digital radio channel 6 Music, when he was picked up by his personal driver and driven north.
At the end of the journey he was dropped off at his flat yards from the Coronation Street set, but had to be taken to a hotel for the night after he locked himself out, the newspaper said.
Liverpool-born Charles made his name playing Dave Lister in the TV space comedy Red Dwarf. He has hosted BBC2's Robot Wars and taken part in Channel 4's The Games.
The married father-of-three joined the cast of Coronation Street last year.
Charles was arrested in 1994 over accusations he raped an ex-girlfriend, but after spending several months in custody he was cleared following a trial at London's Southwark Crown Court.
