Jeremy Vine has issued a call for the unnamed BBC presenter to ‘come forward publicly’, warning that the broadcaster is ‘on its knees’.

The TV personality stressed that it is ‘his decision and his alone’, but added that the new allegations that have come to light today (Tuesday July 11) will result in further attention on ‘innocent’ colleagues of his.

Writing on Twitter, the 58-year-old said: ‘I’m starting to think the BBC Presenter involved in the scandal should now come forward publicly.

‘These new allegations will result in yet more vitriol being thrown at perfectly innocent colleagues of his. And the BBC, which I’m sure he loves, is on its knees with this.’

He concluded: ‘But it is his decision and his alone.’
