Allegations that a BBC presenter paid a teenager tens of thousands of pounds for sexually explicit images are to be put to the head of the corporation.

The BBC has suspended a male member of staff after The Sun newspaper reported he paid a young person around £35,000 (€41,000) over three years, from the age of 17, for explicit images.
