Strictly Come Dancing contestant Ricky Whittle is to perform on Saturday’s show after being released on bail following an incident in Liverpool.
A BBC spokesman said the programme would "continue as normal" with the actor as part of the line-up.
The 29-year-old Hollyoaks star was allegedly involved in an assault on a photographer in Liverpool city centre.
He was being held in police custody after the incident in Duke Street in the early hours of Friday morning.
Police said it involved a collision between a car and a male pedestrian, who is a photographer.
Mr Whittle, who is a regular on the Channel Four soap, was released from custody on Friday afternoon.

Merseyside Police confirmed a 29-year-old man from Billinge was being questioned over the incident in which the victim suffered minor injuries.
"A 29-year-old man has now been released on bail pending further police inquires," said the Merseyside force.
Oldham-born Mr Whittle plays Calvin Valentine in Hollyoaks, which is filmed in Liverpool.
It is believed Mr Whittle had been to a party at Parr Street Studios, where Hollyoaks is filmed, with colleagues from the long-running teen soap.
A spokesman for Parr Street Studios confirmed one of the venue’s bars, Studio Two, had been hired by the Hollyoaks crew for Thursday night’s event.
He said the alleged incident took place after the bar was closed for the night and occurred some distance away.
In Strictly Come Dancing, Mr Whittle is partnered with Australian dancer Natalie Lowe and has scored high marks throughout the 10 weeks of the competition.
