I have various stories about this place. Can we go the next time we have a London trip?

I am sure we will fit in with those fashionable people.

There were lots of half famous hipsters there in very trendy gear. I kept asking people if they’d ever been to Blackpool but no one had.

Some of them got a bit pissed off when I referred to the place as the Chiltern Fireplace. 😂 Hey ho. No-one died.

Rather over-rated I thought. Mrs Spudgun fell down the small steps just before the reception desk. Downhill from there really...

😂 The food was a bit crap as well.

At the end of the evening I was whisked via the back door to a waiting limo. The paps got very excited and jumped up spilling their coffees with bennie spritzers.

And then there was an audible “WTF is he?”

Then they all lowered their cameras and sat down again. Not a single flashing camera

Gary Lineker denies being BBC star accused of paying teenager for explicit pics

Several celebrities have denied being the unnamed BBC presenter who is subject to an internal investigation after allegedly paying a teenager £35,000 for sexually explicit photos

At this rate we’ll just be left with the accused.

Am hoping to see a denial from Graham Norton next and then we are getting all the real biggies out of the way.

Or all the male presenters deny it’s them.

At which point the family and the Sun will have to stand up the allegations.

Looks pretty true. The BBC have confirmed the story existed before the Sun came out with it and if you watch that video these 2 guys know exactly who it is.

Well surely they should name him then? Why are they so coy?

Or they can been accused of being complicit in “the cover up”.

The Sun needs to stop with all the subterfuge and come and name him.

If they’re sure, then I’d imagine the pressure will be immense for them to reveal. If they don’t, then they don’t know for sure that it’s true.

Yes. Like the two old nancies on Talk TV.

“Oooh we know. But of course we’re not allowed to say” girly giggle.

FFS MAN UP!!!! If you’re that confident name him.

And get your arsed sued and wave your career goodbye if you’re wrong.

It's almost as if they're walking the line between getting clicks and facing legal action...
 
On a serious note could it be the bloke paying for these pics isn't who he said he is? Just a thought.

I cannot help but note that Jesus Christ hasn't been on telly since Easter, let's see if he turns up to Songs of Praise this Sunday then we'll know more.

Ffs!!

Why do you have to bring Songs of Praise into it?

Can’t we all just enjoy a good old sing along on a Sunday evening without someone coming along to spoil it with innuendo?

The proof of the communion wafer is in the eating we'll just have to wait and see.

The BBC response was slightly odd. It said they’d try to contact the people who made the complaint as part of the investigation. If they didn’t respond that would hamper the investigation but it wouldn’t mean they (the BBC) wouldn’t press ahead with it.

That suggests to me that the family have been contacted but aren’t engaging with the BBC since making the complaint. I wouldn’t be surprised if that was the advice they’d received from the Sun.

Not saying that the story isn’t true and that’ll come down to the bank statements showing payments and any text/email exchanges with incriminating photos.

But if the above is correct it doesn’t paint the family in a very attractive light I agree.

More money to be gained by not dealing with the BBC investigation
 
Found guilty by the Sun, who do not name him.

Not,as yet, found guilty by the BBC who should not name him until proven guilty. But don't stop the great British Public have a burning at the stake meanwhile.

Absolutely horrendous witch hunt on this thread and no doubt elsewhere. Behave yourselves.
 
Feel sorry for those being accused and having to come out and deny any wrong doing.

One "man" in particular Twitter is being nailed for it on Twitter.

Its hardly a witch hunt when we don‘t even know who we‘re hunting.

If only there had been a Jimmy Saville witch hunt 🧐
 
Yer wan from Northern Ireland, or the iconic newsreader or the worst one from top gear...I don't think anyone knows for sure yet.
The longer it goes on, the more people with their own biases lean on one person or the other.

You'd think the BBC after Saville would try and get ahead of the story and avoid multiple presenters being dragged through the rumour mill by saying...allegations have been made against X, while we await the outcome of an investigation he will be suspended without prejudice.

The only named link I've found and the Article now changed. Looks like it was him though. Best not name him. Twitter search took me 5 mins.

I’m a sh*t detective I think. I’ve got nowhere.

I think I know who you are referring to, the Irish one gone awol from radio. But the teenagers mum said she used to enjoy watching the accused on tv before this and that just doesn’t fit to me, why would you enjoy watching him.

Plus too many of us haven’t heard of him. Probably is him though.

Thought about that - he's radio.

All guesswork, pretty pointless really. 😲
 
I’ve no idea who you’re talking about, but wouldn’t a household name and star, be on TV rather than radio.
