Police have closed their inquiry into an alleged sex offence involving BBC broadcaster Chris Evans, Heat Street can reveal.

According to a source, the former Top Gear presenter, 50, was questioned under caution by Metropolitan Police officers earlier today.

Police said they had decided there was “insufficient evidence to proceed”.

Heat Street previously revealed that in the 1990s Evans allegedly exposed his penis to a colleague “relentlessly” and on one occasion apparently “grabbed” her breasts.

A Met spokesman said: “An allegation of non-recent sexual assault was made to police on Monday, 23 May 16. The allegation was made by a woman against a man. It related to incidents in Tower Hamlets in the 1990s.  The matter was investigated by officers from the Sexual Offences, Exploitation and Child Abuse Command. Today, Thursday 28 July 2016, a man in his 50s was interviewed under caution by police at an East London police building. The decision was made by the police that there was insufficient evidence to proceed.”
