DJ Neil Fox has been arrested by police over alleged historical sex offences against two women.
The 53-year-old Magic presenter, who is known as Doctor Fox, is being questioned at a police station in central London after being arrested earlier today.
A Bauer Media spokesman said: "Bauer Media can confirm that Neil Fox, presenter of the Magic Radio breakfast show, was today arrested by Westminster Police. He is currently being questioned about various allegations.
"In the circumstances Neil will be off air from tomorrow to enable him to devote his full attention to dealing with these matters.
"All other aspects of his contract will remain unchanged while matters are resolved. We can make no further comment at this stage."
His arrest is not a part of the high profile sex crime investigation, Operation Yewtree.
Scotland Yard has not named the broadcaster, but said a 53-year-old was being questioned.
A spokeswoman said: "Officers from Westminster this morning arrested a 53-year-old man following allegations of historical sexual assault against two women.
"The man remains in custody at a central London police station. We have searched an address in SW6 and in the Littlehampton area.
"The man was arrested at a business address in W1."
