The BBC presenter Tony Livesey is to “step back” from his radio show after allegations were raised about his previous career as the editor-in-chief of David Sullivan’s Sport Newspapers.
The BBC said Livesey, 62, would be stepping away from presenting his late-night 5 Live show for “a short time” while the corporation considers the issues raised by a Panorama investigation, which accused Sullivan, a billionaire and co-owner of West Ham United, of sexually exploitative and predatory behaviour towards women over several decades.
