Loose Women's Charlene White fires warning at BBC speculators over 'costly' consequences

Loose Women host Charlene White began Tuesday's show with a strong warning to people speculating online about the identity of the BBC presenter allegedly involved in a sexual images scandal, urging them to think before they type as their words could have costly consequences.

It was towards the end of last week, that reports first surfaced that a high profile star at the BBC had been accused of paying £35,000 for explicit images of a then teenager, with the 20-year-old's family raising their concerns to a national newspaper, who in turn went to the broadcaster with what they'd been told.

Over the last few days, several big name BBC stars have issued very public denials to clear their name, including Gary Lineker, Rylan Clark, Jeremy Vine and Nicky Campbell, with Vine and Campbell both threatening legal action against those people linking their names to the allegations, with Campbell also going to the ;police after being left furious by tweets about him.
