Suspended BBC presenter accused of breaking lockdown laws to meet young stranger from dating site

A BBC presenter at the centre of a row over alleged payments for sexually explicit photos has been accused of breaking lockdown rules to meet them during the Covid pandemic.

The newspaper claims it has seen messages which suggest the presenter travelled to see the young person in February 2021. They had initially met on a dating website in November 2020, according to The Sun.It has been reported that the 23-year-old told The Sun the presenter journeyed from london to a different county to meet them at their flat. At time, strict Covid lockdown rules were in force. This included a stay at home order and mixing only between household bubbles.

It is thought this is a separate person to the others who have made claims against the presenter, who has since been suspended by the BBC.
