Who's this new celebrity groper ?

Who's this new celebrity groper who's been ' hauled in' for questioning. I'm beginning to think they've got a supply of them at the BBC that they keep in a cupboard and they let one out evwry now and then when there's a bit if a slow news day.

Nope not that one, don't think he was ever a BBC TV presenter.

The One Show (BBC) but not until 2010.

His own production company from 2002 producing shows for Channel 4 and 5.

Rude. Pp isn't the only one who didn't get it from the buttery base clue. I didn't either.

I still don’t know who it is!

Nor me! I guess we will live but it's intriguing 😀

Maybe you're new to forums but one person doesn't get to set the rules dear.

Not new and find it amusing that as soon as anyone on MN is challenged it’s all “bad day love, are you new here dear?” So basic and childish. It’s like how motherland has it bang on, can just imagine the exact types at the school gates 😂

All of that said. Actually, there are rules. Guessing games about potential wrong uns may not be banned here, but does anyone at all have any concerns about what they might be saying on the internet?

Seems like only myself and one other poster heard Jeremy Vine’s message on this and as long as you can have a little Sunday morning quiz about who may be linked to a particular saying or not, you don’t give 2 shits what the effects could be.

Can’t you Google to see who is linked to that phrase? It’s the first result. Are you really not able to do that? Bizarre

Is it Jon who may have a wheelbarrow again?

I’m thinking on the lines of a former breakfast presenter who recently had allegations made about him!

I agree, you are making it seem quite like that by trying to set the rules. Ah well.

If you havent heard it, how can you not believe it.....

Yeah ive heard a hint along those lones before but no detail and if it's what i think it is, I find it almost impossible to believe.

What makes you think the BBC is any different from any other.big organisation. I guess you subscribe to some steaming services. The BBC is not a particular outlier when it comes to sex predators in the entertainment industry especially historically.

But we pay for them and they are supposed to be impartial and upstanding, so it does matter. It's why people speculate and want to know if they are personally financially contributing towards employing creeps and charlatans and rapists and god knows what else.

I don’t buy that argument. People would absolutely be speculating whether it was BBC or ITV or a comedian or a footballer. It’s just human nature.

Radio 4 alone is worth 50p a day!

Puppylucky · 07/06/2026 13:07

From the Stratford East London clue I'm going to make a guess it's an ex BBC presenter who turned up on Celeb BB - which is filmed just down the road.

I didn't say it was!! I was answering a posters cryptic clue, irrelevant who it was that was the answer. Read the whole thread!

Jimmy Savile and Huw Edwards were the faces of the BBC and that's just two of the wrong uns!

Loads of them simple search will show that. Also the BBC are publicly funded which was the point I believe

SqueakyFromme · 07/06/2026 14:05

I watched a C4 doc about RB recently it was shocking. His stand up 'comedy ' routine was appalling talking about spit during oral sex and yet the audience were laughing. It also said he still has millions of followers on some platform and is still making millions. I don't get life these days

They can be true at the same time. It's healthy and normal to have built in antennae to detect who is a danger to society and specifically to women. Look at the cover ups that have gone on.

As well as buttery biscuit base, I have also heard that many found the Blue Planet 'touching'

SqueakyFromme · 07/06/2026 15:32

Buttery biscuits base is now a diet and lifestyle 'coach' I don't think I will be signing up to his online grope sessions
