The former artistic director of the Old Vic is already being investigated by the Metropolitan police over two allegations of sexual assault in London in 2005 and 2008.

The new complaint relates to an incident in Westminster in 2005.

“On December 13 we received an allegation that the man sexually assaulted a man (Victim 3) in 2005 in Westminster,” a Metropolitan Police spokesman said.

Spacey was not named directly but police confirmed that the allegation related to the same person as the other two complaints.

The 58-year-old actor was one of the first stars to be accused of sexual misconduct in the wake of the Harvey Weinstein scandal.

He was cut from the already completed Ridley Scott film All The Money In The World, his scenes being re-shot with British star Christopher Plummer.
