 Nicky Campbell has contacted the police following accusations that he is the unnamed BBC presenter currently caught up in a scandal. Reports emerged this weekend that a BBC star had been taken off-air amid an investigation into them allegedly sending money to a teenager in exchange for explicit photos. The individual – said to be a well-known presenter – has been accused of giving more than £35,000 to an anonymous teen for sexual images. As the story proceeded to make national headlines, Campbell found himself on the receiving end of trolling and decided to put his foot down. Taking to Twitter, the broadcaster, 62, shared a screenshot of an account that accused him of being the unnamed BBC star. The account originally shared Campbell's image alongside the words: 'This is the BBC host who paid teenager for sexually explicit photos'. The broadcaster responded to trolls accusing him of being the unnamed star (Picture: ITV/Harry Page/REX/Shutterstock) In response, Campbell filed a report with the Metropolitan Police. He wrote: 'I think it's important to take a stand. 'There's just too many of these people on social media.' 'Thanks for your support friends', he added to his followers. As a concerned friend asked in the replies how he was doing, Campbell assured he was 'all good'. He isn't the first BBC star to be caught up in speculation about the identity of the presenter. Earlier today, Rylan Clark made it clear that he doesn't want his name to be mentioned as part of the conversation. I think itâs important to take a stand. Thereâs just too many of these people on social media.
