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:

i dont believe katie hopkins allegations,

I don't either. As for identifying someone from any old silhouette Confused, as if they'd use the actual person.

The BBC are disgusting for doing this. Literally putting every male presenter under suspicion. Either announce the name or don't say anything at all.

Paddington is also trending so not sure this tells us anything meaningful.

Willmafrockfit · 08/07/2023 12:21

i guess the story came from the Sun so the BBC had to cover it

And he does have a very recognisable sillouhette....

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

Is it J?

It's allegedly the first one.

big deal by The Sun that Only Connect is coming back sooner

lotusflower77 · 08/07/2023 12:24

If you type Katie Hopkins but don't click on her name and just scroll the videos you will see it reposted by other people. The alleged presenter is both bbc and channel 5.

willWillSmithsmith · 08/07/2023 12:25

Isn’t it more likely to be a stock generic photo? Otherwise it looks like they’ve posed for the photos.

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

didn't realise that. seems curious - or is it meant to introduce some margin, like bars saying that if you don't look over 25 they will ask for proof that you are over 18?
anyway, won't be leveraging - nor joining twatter.

Yes but once it was out they should have named him. Other people have been named at the allegation stage it's just how appalling how every one is under suspicion.

Justplainsadmad · 08/07/2023 12:27

Why can't they reveal his name? 🧐

Sureaseggs44 · 08/07/2023 12:29

Why would the parents not go to the police ? Rather than the BBC ? Is it because the victim was not under age ?

Goldfoot · 08/07/2023 12:31

I know the football presenter whose name's doing the rounds is not as squeaky clean as he pretends because he came on to me at a corporate do when he was married.

If it's been going on for years then the teen may have been underage when it started

Willmafrockfit · 08/07/2023 12:32

i guess it is not perhaps a police matter

Goldfoot · 08/07/2023 12:32

Surely the photo isn't the actual person?

Alighttouchonthetiller · 08/07/2023 12:34

They aren't going to use a picture of the actual person. It's a generic thing.

Somanycats · 08/07/2023 12:35

The photo may not be of the actual accused. But it certainly looks like him.

Willmafrockfit · 08/07/2023 12:37

i have my ideas - a person whose programme was axed by the bbc

And me. And my friend. Gary Linekar is well known for being a letch but I'm pretty sure it's not him.

Willmafrockfit · 08/07/2023 12:38

but i am a rubbish sleuth

Goldfoot · 08/07/2023 12:32

Well if its not, it certainly looks very much like someone.

BoohooWoohoo · 08/07/2023 12:39

If it is the person names earlier in this thread then we'll have to see if the other channel who employs him will act too.

Willmafrockfit · 08/07/2023 12:40

i bet its fake, its in the sun, so it must be!
