Vine urges BBC star to come forward

TV and radio star Jeremy Vine has said the unnamed presenter at the heart of the BBC furore "needs to come forward" adding that "the longer he leaves it the worse it will be for him"

Vine and Piers Morgan are among the high-profile figures who have called for the unnamed BBC presenter to go public, with a number of other BBC stars including Lineker, Gary Campbell, Rylan and Vine all being forced to publicly deny they are the person in question.

The BBC and the Sun published new claims following the original allegation that the presenter paid a young person for explicit photos.

The BBC has suspended the presenter.
