any idea who the BBC presenter could be?
any idea who the BBC presenter could be?
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.
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.
What can the BBC reasonably do though?
It sounds like (from the BBC press release) that they made contact with the family involved but received no reply. So it would seem that no evidence has been passed to the BBC.
Without any evidence naming the presenter would likely be devistating to their career, rightly so if actually guilty. But if innocent their career will forever be dogged by the false accusations.
If the source is The Sun, it could all be bullshit drama
To be fair to him, he grew up behind the iron curtain, just another product of his upbringing.
Great Uncle Bulgaria didn't come from Bulgaria, he was named after it, besides, it's his first name, his surname is Coburg, and he didn't come from there either, he always lived in the UK, since the 1600s.
Sorry, you can't just slander wombles.
I'm genuinely struggling to think of a BBC presenter that is "well loved".
That's a bit harsh, there are plenty. Some proper wrong 'uns have pointed the finger at David Attenborough and I hope there's a special place in Hell for them.
Gary Lineker has ruled himself out
The Sun is reporting they're on a six figure salary and were due to be presenting on Friday, but were removed.
Reports say they earn 6 figures, which doesn't narrow it down much.
