    Yes another one.

    And we can't spekulate as there is apparently an injunction. Also due to Wimbledon some programmes have been moved.

    We know it isn't Rylan Clark and it isn't Jeremy Vine - who may be able to sue Katie Hopkins.

    TV presenter Rylan Clark has addressed baseless speculation surrounding the unnamed BBC presenter who has been accused of paying a teenager for explicit photos.

    The unknown presenter is reportedly a BBC star who has been taken off air since the allegation emerged.

    The mother of the alleged victim said the money - allegedly amounting to more than £35,000 - was used to fund a cocaine addiction which “destroyed” her child’s life.

    After the story was published, Mr Clark said: “Not sure why my names floating about but re that story in the sun- that ain’t me babe. I’m Currently filming a show in Italy for the bbc, so take my name out ya mouths.”

    Radio star Jeremy Vine also responded to the story, telling his Twitter followers: “It certainly ain’t me”.

    Addressing more baseless speculation, he wrote: “Just to say I’m very much looking forward to hosting my radio show on Monday — whoever the “BBC Presenter” in the news is, I have the same message for you as Rylan did earlier: it certainly ain’t me.”

    The family of the alleged victim complained to the BBC about the behaviour on 19 May and begged the broadcaster service to make the presenter “stop sending the cash,” according to The Sun.

    Neither the individual or the teenager, who was said to be 17 when the payments began, was identified.
    The BBC said it takes “any allegations very seriously”.

    Sympathetic Twitter users responded to Mr Clark’s tweet, with one person saying: “Ignore them. This kind of reporting isn’t fair on the majority of decent presenters. Keep doing you Rylan x”

    Another said: “You have always come across as 100% genuine. Don’t worry about it.”

    In response to The Sun’s report, a BBC spokesperson said: “We treat any allegations very seriously and we have processes in place to proactively deal with them.

    “As part of that, if we receive information that requires further investigation or examination we will take steps to do this.

    “That includes actively attempting to speak to those who have contacted us in order to seek further detail and understanding of the situation.

    “If we get no reply to our attempts or receive no further contact that can limit our ability to progress things but it does not mean our enquiries stop.

    “If, at any point, new information comes to light or is provided – including via newspapers – this will be acted upon appropriately, in line with internal processes.”

    How times have changed.

    Talking of the 80s and the Sun newspaper, they used to publish topless photos of 16 and 17 year olds on page 3 back then.

    Not even sure how controversial it was back then. Don't remember it even being that big a deal.

    And soft core magazines you could buy at your local newsagents had full nudes of under 18s as well.

            Google of "TV presenters" shows quite a few suspects. We should have a contest on CUK, whoever wins gets 50 quid. Whoever loses gets sued.

              It's not Philip Schofield, apparently.
