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:

Isn't the Hopkins a channel 5 presenter? So not him.

Willmafrockfit · 08/07/2023 12:05

there is no report on the gender of the youth just the male presenter being accused,
not charge,
not suspended

Arou · 08/07/2023 12:05

Check the trending names on Twitter if you don’t want to give Katie Hopkins the clicks. I’m not sure though. Person accused is utterly insufferable and a total tit but I can’t imagine him doing simply because he is so high on his horse about everything. I could be wrong of course.

Perscriptionzzzzz · 08/07/2023 12:06

Why don’t people learn??? Surely everyone realises this is a time when indiscretions will be outed.

Thanks to my thicc ass I get loads of young men chatting me up. I jog them all on nicely because I like my life and my reputation as is. Sex isn’t worth losing anything over

oaktreeme · 08/07/2023 12:06

My money is on the presenter who was once a comedy partner of a certain other comedian who makes the joke about 'garlic, and bread?!'

ThroughThickAndThin01 · 08/07/2023 12:07

It’s confusing. The name on twitter doesn’t present for the bbc does he?

Luckingfovely · 08/07/2023 12:07

I think lunchtime radio is a great place to hear about this!

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.

17yo. Si over age of consent. But apparently 18 is the age where sending photos is legal

Doesn't it say he’s now been taken off air? He isn’t on air at the moment is he?

Belindabelle · 08/07/2023 12:08

@tallcypowder he is also a radio presenter on BBC. Taken off air could mean radio or television.

Have a look at Katie Hopkins' TikTok

I'd rather not know than give her traffic

daisychain01 · 08/07/2023 12:09

the questions we should be asking is what we think the BBC is going to do?

I hope to God they've learned their lesson from the Cliff Richard debacle. It was guilty until proven innocent, really pleased Cliff dragged them through the courts and exposed the vile way he was treated.

Nanny0gg · 08/07/2023 12:09

I hope this thread goes the way of the other two.

Some of you would have been very happy with your knitting in front of the guillotine.

Ah ok so that would become apparent quite quickly then.

Jacopo · 08/07/2023 12:09

The DM outline is very like a major BBC presenter who was taken off air recently for another misdemeanour, related to BBC rules.

BonnieBobbin · 08/07/2023 12:09

I don't understand why they reported to the BBC and not the police. Isn't 17 under-age for providing/requesting indecent images?
And yy the shadowy figure on the DM is immediately recognisable.

Belindabelle · 08/07/2023 12:10

@Twonewcats apparently been going on for a few years so definitely under age.

That wàs awful for him

A303 · 08/07/2023 12:13

How are people seeing this image? On a small phone screen?

On a large screen it is clearly a digital animated silhouette.

Willmafrockfit · 08/07/2023 12:14

i dont believe katie hopkins allegations,

LovedFedAndNoonesDead · 08/07/2023 12:16

Willmafrockfit · 08/07/2023 11:41

we dont know the gender of the youth

and i dont recognise anyone in particular, i dont think it is an actual photo

Exactly - that ‘image’ looks like a cartoon outline and not a blacked out image of a real person

Goldfoot · 08/07/2023 12:17

I don't think they've said "suspended" just not scheduled to be on air. So someone who hasn't been on a for a while anyway, possibly because they all new this was brewing?

NuffSaidSam · 08/07/2023 12:18

Cannot believe the number of people recommending Katie Hopkins' TikTok or an outline in the DM as a reliable news source!

Playing Miss Marple over the identity of someone who has sexually exploited a young person is disgusting. Do something better with your time.
