What we know:

Well loved

Has been suspended

~~Is paid £35,000~~

Male

Surely we can figure it out?

EDIT:

The allegations, first reported by the Sun on Friday, are that the BBC presenter paid £35,000 for explicit photos over a three-year period, starting when the teenager was 17

Sorry, misunderstood this part. Maybe we cannot figure it out

Was it related to this? https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-12253145/amp/High-public-profile-man-wins-High-Court-bid-anonymity-ahead-BBC-broadcast.html

If so, that sounds unrelated - that's the BBC wanting to name someone and being blocked by the individual via a court injunction. The individual in that case is already subject to ongoing criminal investigation.

General community for news/discussion in the UK.

Less serious posts should go in !casualuk@feddit.uk or !andfinally@feddit.uk
More serious politics should go in !uk_politics@feddit.uk.

Try not to spam the same link to multiple feddit.uk communities.
Pick the most appropriate, and put it there.

Posts should be related to UK-centric news, and should be either a link to a reputable source, or a text post on this community.

Opinion pieces are also allowed, provided they are not misleading/misrepresented/drivel, and have proper sources.

If you think "reputable news source" needs some definition, by all means start a meta thread.

Posts should be manually submitted, not by bot. Link titles should not be editorialised.

Disappointing comments will generally be left to fester in ratio, outright horrible comments will be removed.
Message the mods if you feel something really should be removed, or if a user seems to have a pattern of awful comments.
