The public have a right to know the identity of a BBC presenter accused of paying a teenager for explicit photos, Nadine Dorries has said
“As a public service broadcaster in receipt of public funding, senior officials have stressed to the BBC that the allegations must be investigated urgently and sensitively, with the department kept informed.The BBC has been urged to speed up its response to the claims made against the presenter, with a handful of politicians expressing concerns over the apparent delay in suspending the star.
“That’s not good enough so the BBC need to get their house in order and give greater clarity to what on earth has gone on in this case and what they are trying to do to put it right.” Speaking on GB News, he said: “It’s a mess. Clearly if you read the newspaper reports, you can see that the BBC has tried to play this down from the beginning. And it’s not worked, because it’s exploded.”
A BBC spokesperson said: “We treat any allegations very seriously and we have processes in place to proactively deal with them.
