Urgent talks are to take place today between the Culture Secretary and the BBC director-general over serious allegations against one its presenters. It comes amid claims one of the broadcaster's biggest presenters paid a teenager more than £35,000 for sexually explicit photos. The mum of the teenager, who is alleged to have been 17-years-old when the payments began, claims the money sent to her child was used to fund a crack cocaine addiction. The teen, who is remaining anonymous, allegedly went from a "happy-go-lucky" teen to a "ghost-like" addict in just a number of years. The mum told The Sun newspaper she "felt sick" whenever she saw the presenter on TV - who remained in post until recently despite the complaints being made to the BBC seven weeks ago. The Mirror reported last night that the accused presenter even partied with BBC bosses at an awards ceremony after the allegations were made. Treasury Minister Victoria Atkins said this morning the BBC must "act very swiftly" as "public attention and concern grows" over the claims. The former criminal barrister added: "These are very, very serious allegations and the BBC have said that they have processes in place but I think as public attention and concern grows, the BBC is going to have to act very swiftly to deal with these allegations and to set out what they are doing to investigate them."
