Whoever it is, this is causing a big mess as a number of the BBC's top presenters have had to come forward denying it is them:

  • Gray Lineker
  • Jeremy Vine
  • Nicky Campbell
  • Rylan Clark

And the identity of the individual looks to be known in the right circles:

Deadline spoke to several BBC and industry sources on Saturday and the name of one individual has come up repeatedly.

The Sun is going to keep drip-feeding this news and people are going to keep speculating. The BBC needs to get this sorted asap and also look seriously at their complaints procedures as this doesn't seem to be have been dealt with properly. I love the Beeb but they are just giving the Tory press a stick to beat them with.

What I want to know is why Rylan is pronounced "Rye-lan" but Dylan is pronounced "Dillan". Surely Rylan shoudl be "Rillan"? I always want to call him "Rillan" anyway...

Finally, someone asking the real questions!

It's because the English language is confusing and in need of reform.
