The sex abuse investigation into Sir Cliff Richard has "increased significantly since its inception" and involves more than one allegation, say South Yorkshire Police.
The 73-year-old entertainer was questioned by police last August after a man came forward and claimed he had been molested by the star in the 1980s.
In a letter to Keith Vaz, the chairman of the Home Affairs Select Committee, David Crompton, the Chief Constable of South Yorkshire, confirmed the investigation had expanded beyond that single allegation.
Responding to a request from Vaz for an update into the investigation, Crompton said: "This is an investigation which has increased significantly in size since its inception. Sir Cliff Richard's lawyers are aware that there is more than one allegation."
Richard said: "I have no idea where these absurd and untrue allegations come from. I have never, in my life, assaulted anyone and I remain confident that the truth will prevail."
