BBC presenter scandal - who is it?

[pommobear]

I'm sorry, please don't shoot me but I'm putting my money on Tom jones simply because of the Welsh and national tresure link

I feel like this needs to be said again - there is no confirmed welsh link! That's an internet rumour.

At this point, I think it probably is HE just because no one else who is still in the ring seems high profile enough. But there is no confirmed welsh link - that's not a thing. The only things we 100% know for sure about the person in question is it's a high profile male member of staff at the BBC.

I can't stand Tom Jones but there's no way it's him - they would have said singer, not BBC presenter.

Has it been confirmed whoever it is is top earning BBC presenter (six figures)?

yes, BBC confirmed they suspended a presenter who is male, and earns 6 figures.
They also said it’s being investigated by an external agency, which makes me think police or government, which frankly, both are as corrupt as the BBC so it’ll probably end up nowhere.

This is exactly the same!
Same names again, who were discounted several times over several hours.
Dyer, McIntyre, Norton, baker.

Well, he is a well known rapist piece of tit but I doubt it’s him in this instance as he’s not a regular BBC host as far as I know?

BBC & The rum originally both said Male & as they've had contact with the Mum i'd assume they got it correct.

Thank you. I thought so but a few have said it’s female

Why has no one mentioned Jay Blades from The Repair Shop

When Matt Baker did Strictly I heard from two different sources that that he was shagging Aliona. I’m still amazed the press never picked up on it, but anyway he’s not whiter than white.

Just realised I've been mixing up Dan Waker and Matt Baker this whole time.

Its the Gethin Joneses and Steve Jones all over again.

 

[hiesenberg]

is he still on The Voice? Not a presenter, though.

I'm not sure to be honest. But I feel that he would 'rock britain' more than HE. I hope we find out soon

Weirdly doesnt surprise me about them 2, Also I think theres lots of SCD couplings we never hear about i'm sure Craig Revel Horwood said that

From what I’ve been reading, are we assuming this person is welsh, done tv and radio? Or is this certain? Wondered if anyone thought about Robbie Savage.

I’m sure he’s also been discussed on Celeb Gossip before for being a bit of a wick as well.

Here's the list of BBC presenters earning 6 figures who are male

• Gary Lineker - £1,350,000 - £1,354,999 - not him
• Alan Shearer - £450,000 - £454,999 - hasn't been mentioned as far as I know but surely if it was him they'd have specified sports presenter
• Steve Wright - £450,000 - £454,999 - think he's been discounted but correct me if wrong

Any celebs who ever use that emoji in public tweets or DMs will now have to think twice about using it even though they use it innocently lol. Huw really seemed to favour it as an opening approach.

Mared Perry also confirmed it was a fellow journalist and that she’d worked with him before she protected her tweets. Wish I’d taken screenshots!

It's assumed only, not confirmed about the welsh thing. TV is definitely confirmed, not sure about radio.

No, she said she'd never worked with him.

Does HE present Mon to Fri only? Or usually weekends also?

Yep. I also heard one of the judges shagged a contestant but never found who. I know that it wasn’t Len Goodman but that’s about it,

 

[jamesgets]

Yes the victim is male.
Yes Huws socials have always had comments disabled.
No, it isn't anybody who doesn't work for the BBC.
No it's not someone exclusively on the radio, as it's difficult to see them on TV.
We don't know why they didn't just go to the police, there could be 1 of many reasons.

Monday - Thursday only.
