BREAKING: Culture Secretary Lucy Frazer is to hold talks with the BBC director-general Tim Davie over 'deeply concerning' allegations about one of its presenters.
She said the man appeared to be"leaning forward, getting ready for my child to perform for him."
No one involved has been named, but The Sun said the presenter has not been suspended. It is understood he is still being paid his six-figure salary in full. The mother said her child told her they had also received a payment of £1,000 via PayPal in June which suggested that the"BBC hadn't spoken to this man" in the weeks after the initial complaint.
Several political figures have been critical of the BBC's handling of the allegations, with Labour's shadow chancellor Rachel Reeves telling Sky News' Sophy Ridge on Sunday programme that the allegations were"deeply concerning".
