BBC presenter ‘wants to stay anonymous’ as name ‘can’t remain secret forever’

A BBC presenter in the core of a ‘sex photo’ scandal is apparently ‘extremely angry’ and ‘wants to stay anonymous’, according to Jeremy Vine.

The BBC Radio 2 anchor has asked the presenter to come forward and said: ‘It’s absolutely dreadful. I really think this stuff has got to stop. I don’t want to go through this again, ever.

Four people have now made accusations against the host, with the first coming from parents who claimed their child was sent £35,000 over a three-year period for pornographic photos.

A second young person claims they were sent expletive-filled abusive messages, while a third says the presenter broke lockdown rules to meet them.

A fourth, now 22, claims they were sent Instagram messages containing love heart emojis and kisses when they were 17.

The unnamed presenter is accused of appearing in his underwear in a video call by the parents of the young person in connection with the initial claim.

But a letter from a lawyer representing the young person said there had been no inappropriate behaviour and called The Sun’s story ‘rubbish’.
