Chris Langham's bail was extended yesterday to allow police more time to investigate alleged child pornography offences.

The 56-year-old star of The Thick Of It must report back to officers next month, the Daily Mirror reports.

Langham – a married father of five - was arrested in November and his computer seized.

He issued a statement at the time saying: ‘I was arrested by police in an inquiry into offences relating to computer use. I have not been charged and have made no admission to criminal acts.’

This is the third time he has had his bail extended.
