    To be honest, forgetting what he's done, what the papers say and the public opinion if he every manages to get his head straight and doesn't harm himself is the short term future I can see him getting a pretty fat pay out from the BBC if he takes them on about the handling of this.

    Hook ups sites and pictures /videos of the opposite sex sold & posed to order seem Icky to me as well. Though were I single then I may dabble for love or lust.
    If certain friends can get laid via it (apparently) then it must be magic.

    Older men have an allure I am told so long as they have a fast hair dressing car

    If the IM conversation in the wail is true that reads like a canny operator setting some prize twit up for a few quid.
    Grindr is a location based chat/dating/hookup app, not exclusively a hook up app. So similar to tinder but lot more emphasis on proximity.

    I don't find onlyfans icky, especially when I see some of the money they are raking in. It's just porn with an exploitative parasocial relationship hook.

    I find large age gaps a little icky, especially when one partner is below say 25ish.

    There are many people who have a preference for significantly older men/women, so it might not even be a money thing.

    I think it's a bit icky but there is a hell of a lot of sex/relationship stuff I find icky, each to their own.

    If my kids want to take their kit off for money , are above 18 and aren't forced into it then that is entirely up to them.

    If you have read even a fraction of a groupies story fame allows pretty much anything and has done for centuries.

    If everything he has done is legal then that's none of our business. Although some could make the argument that his specific position in BBC news might warrant questions about his morals and their suitability.

    However what is done is done. Even if it shouldn't have been a story the fact it was a story makes what comes next a valid story, and that includes his health.

    I have to say SE, that’s a bit rich coming from you. You’ve been all over this juicy bit of gossip. You could at least own it.

    If you voluntary go in they don't section you.

    Anyway The Sun are not going to post/print anymore allegations and are going to co-operate with the BBC inquiry.

    The Met police and South Wales police both say no criminal activity has occurred.
