NEWS… BUT NOT AS YOU KNOW IT
Last-ditch crisis talks are set to be held today between the culture secretary and the BBC over serious allegations against one of its presenters.
MP Lucy Frazer will speak with the BBC’s director general Tim Davie today after a presenter was accused of paying a teenager £35,000 for sexually explicit photos.
In a statement, the Department for Culture, Media and Sport called the allegations ‘deeply concerning’.
Earlier today the BBC was urged to act ‘very swiftly’ to deal with the claims.
