Nicky Campbell has spoken about his “distressing weekend” after he was “falsely named” as the BBC presenter accused of paying a teenager for sexually explicit pictures.
The 62-year-old was among the famous faces forced to clear their name after allegations that a BBC presenter paid £35,000 for explicit photographs. Introducing his BBC Radio 5 Live show on Monday, Campbell said: “Obviously thoughts with the alleged victim and family.
“So a bit of perspective here, worse things happen at sea as they say, but it was a distressing weekend, I can’t deny it, for me and others falsely named. Today I am having further conversations with the police in terms of malicious communication and with lawyers in terms of defamation.”
