BBC star ‘broke Covid lockdown rules to meet 23-year-old from dating site’
The Metro says A 23-year-old person has claimed the BBC presenter facing allegations over payments for sexually explicit pictures broke Covid lockdown rules to meet them, The Sun reported.
Messages seen by the newspaper suggest the top star travelled across London, to a different county, to see them in February 2021.
It is alleged the two met on a dating website and the presenter pressed them for more almost two months to see each other in person, despite England being in a strict three-tier system.
The young person said: ‘I kept fobbing him off but he became so persistent. He then started getting really demanding when I made excuses not to meet him.
‘There was a barrage of messages and if I didn’t agree to meet he would say he felt unwanted and I had to explain myself constantly.
‘His attitude changed completely.’
