Who do you think is the BBC presenter who has been suspended?

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:

It's as clear as mud to me from that outline 🤷‍♀️

storypushers · 08/07/2023 11:51

Is that the outline of the accused? Yes seems very obvious. Was hoping it wasn't anything to do with the pointless reference. And Katie Hopkins is saying someone else entirely.

Already had a thread this morning about the same thing- people speculated, thread got pulled- till more info comes out it's pointless

Two have been pulled because of the speculation naming names

Kimii · 08/07/2023 11:52

I thought the outline looked like someone but he’s an ITV presenter, so clearly I know nothing 😂

i meant pointless to speculate!

Oh OK, I thought it was a clue!

CornishTiger · 08/07/2023 11:54

Which video is she mentioning it on. I really don’t want to scroll through all her videos and give her views!

Have a look at Katie Hopkins' TikTok

Thw most recent is about ThamesWater - has the bbc one been deleted?

Not if he drove to bbc

Itisyourturntowashthebath · 08/07/2023 11:54

Can you imagine being a male presenter who is either off sick or on holiday. You'd be straight onto your agent to get you a n interview on day time telly or an opinion piece.

TheWeeDonkeyFella · 08/07/2023 11:55

The BBC is massive with hundreds of shows on various channels that I bet many of us have never watched / listened to so could easily be someone under the radar while innocent people are getting called pervs for no apparent reason other than prejudices surfacing.

i was just about to say this!

itsgettingweird · 08/07/2023 11:56

I'm laughing at all the responses to looking at Katie Hopkins tik tok.

I don't do tik too or Katie Hopkins. Looks like I'm not alone in my thoughts 🤣🤣🤣

The article I read said they’re internationally known, loved by millions and they’ve got 35k after tax (possibly) to fund a teenagers drug addiction so I think they will be one of the bigger names.

Tinkerbyebye · 08/07/2023 11:57

If it’s either if the two mentioned most (Katie’s to Tom and Twitter) that picture doesn’t look like either of them, so that’s a red herring in my book

All I want is the BBC to sort it pronto, we don’t need another JS scandal

I really don’t think it’s AA. He was at Wimbledon yesterday looking very relaxed.

pendleflyer · 08/07/2023 12:00

got to ask, wasn't the person sending the pics for dosh over the age of consent?
Had the impression they were but willing to be corrected.
Can't help wondering why money (a lot) was paid.
is there really a story here unless the News of the World has resurfaced from its murky depths?
Agree that no way can people be chucking names around.
Out of order and will clearly get thread deleted for good reasons.

Still massively more likely to be man if someone is paying for sexually explicit pictures.

So do you think that gay men are far more likely to be after sexually explicit pictures of under-18s than straight men are? What makes you think that?

I read that as meaning it's more likely to be a man than a woman as the teenager in question is male. So a comparison between male and female behaviour, not a comparison between male straight and male gay behaviour.

pendleflyer · 08/07/2023 12:01

>>a lot
should have had ? afterwards.

LozengeShaped · 08/07/2023 12:01

I'm as interested as the next person, but
a) we've no idea who it is and
b) if it was all online, perhaps it wasn't even the celebrity in question.

A303 · 08/07/2023 12:01

Meepme · 08/07/2023 11:40

@BernadetteRostankowskiWolowitz exactly, it's obvious who it is

Really? I may be being a bit dim, but it looks like a digitally generated silhouette to me.

Willmafrockfit · 08/07/2023 12:02

we dont know the teenager is male

Belindabelle · 08/07/2023 12:04

Apparently teenager is male, his mothers reporting it in May after finding out where her child was getting the money to buy drugs. It has been going on for three years.

All according to my Twitter feed so could be absolute bollocks.

broomers · 08/07/2023 10:49

Ah I see I looked and couldn't find a thread. Can we use initials and clues and it not get deleted?

Why would you do that?

How many innocent people's names do you want dragged through the mud.

Vile

The DM have used a very recognisable outline in their photo they've got running

Really that could be two of my three sons and my husband 🙄
