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:

How does anyone think they can have this sort of secret life involving several other people and it to never be revealed publicly?

TokyoStories · 11/07/2023 22:01

They don’t think with their brains…

Wouldn't someone have noticed a Well known Presenter rocking up at someone's house in lockdown the amount of curtain twitching going on

MermaidEyes · 11/07/2023 22:34

He wouldn't have necessarily been noticed especially if he had a mask on. Also, if it's who we all think it is, even though i'd recognise him if I saw him on tv, if I walked past him in the street i probably wouldn't. He just looks like any other average man of his age.

the80sweregreat · 11/07/2023 22:37

Might have worn a mask , that is a great way of going unnoticed.
Big coat, mask , even a wig

Pansypotter123 · 11/07/2023 22:48

Are there 4 now: the one whose mum first went to the Sun: the one who allegedly received abusive messages; the one with whom lockdown rules were allegedly breached; the one who allegedly received "heart" messages - see bottom right of tomorrow's Sun?

Bloody hell

ewwwww

Something doesn't add up.

The first allegation was refuted by the first alleged victim and now there are 3 more? It just looks like The Sun someone is playing a sick joke now.

Maybe it's just true? Maybe the crack addict youth just doesn't want it all dragged through the papers?

Curiouscarla · 11/07/2023 23:18

Jeremy Vine now. Publically urging presenter to come forward.
How can he ever work with these people again after all he is putting them through.

ffs, what is wrong with everyone! Media, meida, switch the damn screen off and let things happen in due course. It will happen, just be patient!

Maybe. But the way it's been handled is an absolute farce, you can't deny that.

BBC news confirmed they've seen one set of messages from one of the young people and that they came from the presenters known phone number.

Willmafrockfit · 12/07/2023 01:20

why did the bbc contact a specific person - they must have been checking presenter's phone records?
not up to them,
up to police

Northernsouloldies · 12/07/2023 01:27

Don't think sending emojis is an offence. Creepy fucker speaking to teens but if its been on a dating app (18+for account) then perhaps no crime has been committed and the sun is hardly a paragon of virtue.

billy0644 · 12/07/2023 02:14

i know

ReturnoftheMuck · 12/07/2023 02:31

'A spokesperson for Prime Minister Rishi Sunak urged "anyone who has been a victim in the nature of these allegations" to "come forward to ensure that they are supported and their claims looked into".'

And what about the newlywed?

it's so concerning how this (and Nicola Bulley's case) has been handled. SOMETHING has to be done to ensure this kind of thing isn't the norm - everything becoming public property before any real investigation has even begun is grim. Then, once an investigation is complete, it turns into "there's no smoke without fire" and conspiracy claims, while ignoring the actual evidence. It's all very grubby.

did they contact someone?
I thought they just said the messages the person received were from a number associated with the presenter?

Willmafrockfit · 12/07/2023 06:46

that is what i heard or thought i heard @Twonewcats

you probably did - I think there will be lots of info coming out over the next few days which will change or clash with other reports.
The Scum are probably rubbing their hands with utter glee that others are coming forward now, as it looked like they had truly fucked up for a few hours. They'll have something else to drip feed to us today like a TV drama, no doubt, while people's lives are being ruined

justasking111 · 12/07/2023 09:08

A dirty old man on the internet story rolls on meanwhile in other more important news. Oh wait it's buried any other news. Great result for some

Hmmm wonder why a crack addict would refute the claims. Worrying the money will dry up for the next fix they'll do anything to get? That's a more likely scenario than it not being true.
