TV host Matthew Kelly is still scheduled to perform a stage play in Eastbourne despite his arrest over child sex claims.

Producers of the production Of Mice And Men insist the Stars In Their Eyes presenter is pencilled in to perform at the Devonshire Park Theatre in March.

The 52-year-old was arrested by Surrey Police last week in connection with allegations of sexual abuse against boys under 16 in the Seventies.

He was not charged and was bailed to return on March 12. Mr Kelly emphatically denies the allegations.

Mr Kelly is due to perform at the Devonshire Park Theatre from March 25 to 29 in the play produced by Birmingham Repertory Theatre.

In a statement, the show's producers said he was still scheduled to star but conceded this might change.

It read: "If any aspect of the production as advertised changes in the immediate future, we will issue another statement at that time.

"Ticket sales for this production continue to be strong and the play will be staged regardless of any future cast changes."
