What happened yesterday?

If you're trying to get a sense of what's going on, or indeed just need a recap, here are some of the key events from the last few days.

What happened yesterday?

 The BBC has suspended an unnamed male presenter over allegations he paid a teenager for sexually explicit photos over a three-year period

In a statement, the corporation said "it is important that these matters are handled fairly and with care", and expected to be "in a position to provide a further update in the coming days"

The Metropolitan Police has confirmed the BBC has made initial contact with the force over the claims, but it says no formal allegation has been made

Culture Secretary Lucy Frazer spoke to the director general on Sunday about the "deeply concerning" claims, and called for the BBC to be given "space" to investigate

The BBC's director general says the corporation first became aware of the allegations in May, adding that he is taking the situation "extremely seriously"

Tim Davie also says new claims of "a different nature" were revealed on Thursday and the BBC is in contact with the family

In an email to staff, he condemned social media speculation about which presenter is involved

The Sun's latest front page claims the presenter sent "panicked calls" to the young person involved in the paper's revelations, which we'll bring you more on in another post.
