About this episode
On an extra Sky News Daily, Kimberley Leonard discusses new developments to the accusations that a BBC presenter paid a teenager thousands of pounds for explicit photos.

Lawyers acting for the young person said the original story in the Sun was “totally wrong” and claims made by their mother were “rubbish”.

The Sun said it has seen evidence to support the concerns. The newspaper also quoted the individual's mother and stepfather as saying "we stand by our account".

Kimberley is joined by media lawyer Matthew Gill.
