Summary
The BBC is under fire over its handling of accusations that a high-profile presenter paid a teenager thousands of pounds for sexually explicit photographs. <br /><br />The unnamed presenter was suspended over the weekend, but the teenager's mother claims the corporation was first made aware of allegations in May. <br /><br />Dame Caroline Dinenage, who chairs the Culture, Media and Sport committee, said she was concerned the corporation had taken a "very long time" to investigate the claims. <br /><br />On the Sky News Daily, Kimberley Leonard is joined by our home editor Jason Farrell and former BBC presenter Roger Bolton to explore what we know, and don't know, so far about the latest scandal to hit the BBC. <br /><br />Senior podcast producer: Annie Joyce <br />Interviews producer: Alex Edden <br />Editor: Paul Stanworth
