Britain’s BBC will face questions from the government on Sunday about its handling of an allegation that one of its star presenters paid a teenager thousands of pounds to pose for sexually explicit photos beginning when they were 17 years old.
A government statement said that Culture Secretary Lucy Frazer would hold urgent talks with the broadcaster’s director general, Tim Davie, later on Sunday about the allegations, which the statement described as “deeply concerning”.
