On The Sun’s front page on Wednesday, the newspaper reported further allegations that a 23-year-old person has claimed the Welsh presenter broke lockdown rules to meet them during the pandemic in February 2021. Following the statement from Flind, BBC director-general Tim Davie said in a note to staff it is “important” that the work on the internal investigation continues, adding: “I want to be clear that in doing so we will follow due process.”
The corporation had previously been asked to pause its investigation until the police force had conducted their assessments. Similarly, BBC culture and media editor Katie Razzall has previously said the story is a “series of claims and counter claims” which have yet to be verified, which deterred publishers from initially identifying the BBC presenter.The BBC’s director-general has said it is ‘important’ that the work on the internal investigation now continues
