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:

BBC news on R4 has just stated the presenter is not scheduled to appear in the near future. So it’s must be someone who does not present every day.

@Willmafrockfit

but is it even a police matter?

Not at the moment as far as we know but making indecent images of a child is an offence.

The point is that if there is a right to privacy even where there has been an arrest (a public interest in disclosure of name) there 100% will be a greater right to privacy where there hasn't been one (far far weaker public interest in disclosure of name)

Well, Myleene Class is standing in for Jeremy Vine as he takes a much needed break this month.

He was back on his Channel 5 programme this week.

I'm still struggling to believe it could be him. I suppose people could be getting confused because we know it's a BBC presenter, the victim's mum said she hates seeing him on TV, but JV is not a TV presenter with the BBC these days.

Doesn’t he do Eggheads?

Thebigblueballoon · 08/07/2023 13:09

It’s all over Twitter, TikTok (no need to watch Katie Hopkins) and you only need to Google who is taking a break/being replaced next week to get your answer.

FatherJackHackettsUnderpantsHamper · 08/07/2023 13:09

Without making any allegations at all, there has been a great deal of talk around the Bachelor Boy's behaviour, since decades before the BBC fiasco. People were saying something about an affectionate name for a baby cat.

Does that rule out Nolan? I'm not from Northern Ireland and I'd never heard of him before today.

He does - but that was poached by Channel 5 some time ago.

BringMeTea · 08/07/2023 13:13

Poached Eggheads... sorry..

Curiouscarla · 08/07/2023 13:13

Yep yesterday JV said on his radio show see you all on Mon. Now it is announced he is taking a break. The answer is there.

MinimalistMe · 08/07/2023 13:15

Could someone DM me who it is?? I don't have twitter/tiktok 😭

When was that announced? Very strange as it’s still up on BBC Sounds that he’s presenting the show on Monday. However I doubt it’s him or the article would surely say he presents on Channel Five?

It's for his channel 5 show, for next week. We will see what happens with his radio 2 show which I like on Monday 🤷‍♀️.

HRTQueen · 08/07/2023 13:17

The Sun years ago published a front page of silhouettes one was very obviously Jimmy Saville the other Jonathan King not long after JK was in court for sexually abusing boys

The take a break I meant was for his channel 5 show, not sure about radio 2 show.

Goldfoot · 08/07/2023 13:21

I player still says JV is presenting his radio show on Monday

Have a look at Katie Hopkins' TikTok

never in a thousand years

Curiouscarla · 08/07/2023 13:24

It's all v odd. But has morally bankrupt as Katie Hopkins is she is a shrewd business woman. No way would she blatantly name him if in doubt. He would rip her to pieces.

DZbornak · 08/07/2023 13:25

Hope the BBC tell whoever it is to get on his bike.

Irequireausername · 08/07/2023 13:25

I can't find the katie hopkins vid 😢

NoraBattysCurlers · 08/07/2023 13:26

Why didn't The Sun print the name of the presenter?

The parents went to The Sun. The parents claim that a total of £35,000 online payments were made by the presenter to their child and that photographs sent by the presenter.

All they had to do is hand over the evidence of these payments to The Sun. What is there to stop The Sun printing the name of the presenter who made the payments if they have the evidence.

The BBC statement seems to imply that a complaint was made but further information was not forthcoming from the complainants.

Something doesn't add up.

usernother · 08/07/2023 13:26

If Katie Hopkins is right I will laugh my leg off. I can't stand the sanctimonious fool. I don't think it is right though.

FatherJackHackettsUnderpantsHamper · 08/07/2023 13:27

Poached Eggheads... sorry..

I didn't even make that connection when I posted Grin
