I don't have twitter and haven't seen any theories as to who it is, I'm presuming a man due to the figure outline being used in the press:

Very shocking, and heartbreaking for the families involved.

Families involved? What do you mean?

I’m assuming they mean the family of the victim and the family of the broadcaster.

DS girlfriend works in TV and if her info is correct, it’s going to make a huge splash!

Very shocking, and heartbreaking for the families involved.

Is the word 'splash' a clue? If it is, I remember who presented that show .........

I am as grounded that this thread is still here.

I reported it ages ago and received a generic “we’re taking a look now” email which is clearly bollocks because there is no way this thread would be left to stand if they’d looked at it. It has lawsuits a-plenty written all over it.

And for the people speculating, there’s every chance it might not be true. Remember it’s the family who have made the allegations,not the individual. Maybe they’re just bitter because he’s now a crack addict so they need someone to blame.

And instead of going to the police they went to the Sun. I’m always dubious of people who do that.

Splash was on ITV, but let's not let that get in the way of speculation.

Splash is a term for a great story/exclusive in the media world, probably not much more to it than that.

You would if you had the misfortune of being a youngish woman who's met him.

I mean I agree with him politically and support him using the platform he has, but the man is an awful letch.

It was in ITV but the presenter works for the BBC, in radio, now. I don't think it would be particularly shocking if it was him though.

Did Katie H name one of those who has denied it?

Honestbritishgirl · 08/07/2023 20:59

It's a man! His mam has said she hated seeing him on TV, it's also been reported "2019" but now The Sun printed story, their listening! as always they just brushed it under carpet till they had know choice.

I don't know if it's been confirmed it's a man? If it's the female presenter of that show, that would be astonishing, but I can't imagine that for a minute.

Makes a change from a "niece"

It's usually a niece

Hmm
WhisperingAutistic · 08/07/2023 21:16

GB News reckon they MAY be allowed to give us the name at 10pm..
Yeah right lol. It will be like the Schofield thing they did, not much information, just trying to raise their viewing figures.

Redshoeblueshoe · 08/07/2023 21:22

What changes at 10pm on a saturday night - access to the sunday papers, and I expect the man to be named in tomorrows papers

WhisperingAutistic · 08/07/2023 21:23

Mark Williams-Thomas just shared this again. Didn't he say the Daily Mail last time? Changed to The Mirror?
