But he claimed it would not have been right to contact the presenter until further information had been sought from the complainant, insisting attempts were made to do so.

"As a result of this meeting, the BBC has been asked to pause its investigations into the allegations while the Police scope future work. "We always take these matters extremely seriously and seek to manage them with the appropriate duty of care.
