The controversy surrounding a top BBC presenter has deepened after The Sun reported that the man had broke coronavirus lockdown rules to meet a young person.
The UK paper said that it saw messages which revealed that the TV star not only visited the 23-year-old's home, but also sent money and demanded a picture.
In return, he got a semi-naked photograph.
According to the paper, the young person — whose identity was kept a secret due to privacy reasons — claimed the TV star travelled to another country to meet them at their flat in February 2021.
The source is quoted as saying: "He was always asking to meet and I found it quite pressurising. There were restrictions and they kept getting stricter but he constantly asked."
The newspaper alleges the travel to another county took place on 18 February 2021 — during the third lockdown in Britain.
