 GMB guest and journalist Andrew Pierce replied: 'People who are presenters at the BBC are saying, 'We're being named, they're looking at us.' 'Their social media feeds are filled with hatred, and people are saying, 'We know it's you.' 'And they're fed up with it. It's defamatory what's being said about them. 'And Jeremy Vine is a good man and just wants it to stop, and this person to come forward and take the pressure off.' Writing on Twitter on Tuesday, Vine, 58, had said: 'I'm starting to think the BBC Presenter involved in the scandal should now come forward publicly. 'These new allegations will result in yet more vitriol being thrown at perfectly innocent colleagues of his. And the BBC, which I'm sure he loves, is on its knees with this.' Jeremy Vine){kind=link}

Susanna Reid has branded Jeremy Vine’s ‘move’ to put pressure on the unnamed BBC presenter at the centre of a scandal as ‘strange’.
The Channel 5 host, who has categorically denied being the anonymous male presenter, has issued a call for them to ‘come forward publicly’.
He stressed that it is ‘his decision and his alone’ but added that the new allegations that have come to light will result in further attention on ‘innocent’ colleagues of his, while the BBC is ‘on its knees’.
