Richard Bacon has expressed his disagreement with Jeremy Vine's call for the BBC presenter at the centre of a scandal to reveal his identity. Richard believes that the complexity of the situation should be taken into consideration when dealing with the accused and their family.
On Twitter, Richard wrote: ‘Stop it. You’re more emotionally intelligent than this. We don’t know the complexities of what his family are going through. Or what dark thoughts are running through his head. Irrespective of what he’s done wrong. You can walk off people wrongly guessing it’s you for 5 minutes’.
Susanna Reid also shared her thoughts on the matter while on Good Morning Britain, describing Jeremy's call for the presenter to reveal their identity as ‘strange’. She said it reflects the fact that other people feel they are unwittingly caught up in this.
Jeremy, however, had a different opinion on the matter. He explained his decision to tweet on his Channel 5 show, saying he ‘thought very carefully’ before hitting publish. He expressed concern for the accused presenter's state of mind but also explained that he believes it's important for them to come forward.
The Metropolitan Police is currently trying to assess the situation to establish if a criminal offence has been committed. As the investigation continues, Richard and Susanna are not the only ones to have expressed their opinion on the matter. Other BBC stars have also denied any involvement in the explicit photo allegations.
