ROLF Harris has been replaced as the host of British television show Animal Clinic after being arrested for a second time following fresh allegations of sexual abuse.
Channel 5 pulled the hit show from the air in April after the Australian entertainer was first named in relation to Operation Yewtree.
Now, after Harris was re-arrested and bailed again earlier this week, it's been revealed adventurer Ben Fogle will host the second series when Animal Clinic returns.
"Ben Fogle will present the next series of Animal Clinic," a Channel 5 spokesman told AAP in a statement.
"No other presenter was ever contracted to do the second series."
The eight-show series will be called Ben Fogle's Animal Clinic. It will again follow the work of Liverpool University's vet school.
Channel 5 commissioning editor Ian Dunkley said Fogle's love of animals made him "the natural choice to present the second series".
Harris has remained silent since the Metropolitan Police on Monday said he'd been "further arrested on suspicion of sexual offences in connection with further allegations".
He's been bailed until later this month.
The 83-year-old has not been charged and denies any wrongdoing.
In a rare public appearance on the weekend, an emotional Harris thanked fans for their support when he performed at the Wickham Festival in south England.
Harris was first arrested in late March by officers from Operation Yewtree which was set up in the wake of the Jimmy Savile scandal.
