BBC U-turns as it confirms it received six complaints against DJ Tim Westwood

Tim Westwood stepped down from his show earlier this year after the allegations emerged

THE BBC said it received six complaints against veteran radio host Tim Westwood, including one that was referred to police, despite previously saying no evidence of complaints had been found.

The hip hop DJ, who was a BBC radio presenter for almost 20 years, stepped down from his show on Capital Xtra in April following accusations by several women of sexual misconduct and predatory behaviour.
