What we know:

Well loved

Has been suspended

Is paid £35,000

Male

Surely we can figure it out?

EDIT:

The allegations, first reported by the Sun on Friday, are that the BBC presenter paid £35,000 for explicit photos over a three-year period, starting when the teenager was 17

Sorry, misunderstood this part. Maybe we cannot figure it out

    Please don’t speculate on names. Apart from the legal risks to the poster of the name, and possibly the platform/mods, it’s not right to cast aspersions without evidence on something this serious.

    Names that are clearly in the clear are all good, of course. As is solid evidence, which will likely come soon enough.

      Yeah all the top paid presenters are scrambling to say it wasn’t them, I imagine their agents are sticking a rocket up the BBC for having to do this when this could, apparently, been dealt with months ago. So the Been will need to resolve this quickly just to limit the damage.
