 Eamonn Holmes urged the BBC to release the name of the suspended male presenter who allegedly paid a 17-year-old for explicit sexual images. The GB News presenter, 63, advised the corporation to end speculation and inform the public of who they have since removed from their usual broadcast schedule. According to the Northern Irish broadcaster, the BBC is only delaying the inevitable by leaving out the star's name ahead of the network's meeting with the Met police on Monday.
