    Hang on, The name has not been released of the presenter so how does this second young person know it’s the same presenter or does this young person know the first?

    And why is the first young person saying nothing was wrong with the messages received and wants to drop it?

    Somethings not adding up here to me.

    I really need to fully read before scanning an article lol

      At this point it’s either because: a) the presenter’s identity is pretty well known (some parts of the foreign press are running with it) or b) a number of people are contacting the BBC about shady behaviour from presenters and this just happens to be the same presenter so it is getting rolled up into the ongoing investigation.

      The article says they do not know each other. BBC news likely knows the rumoured identity of the presenter so perhaps they made the link? It does seem weird to ‘confirm’ it’s the same presenter, now anyone who knows either person likely knows the name, only a matter of time before it’s leaked whether or not anything has wrong has been done.
