BBC Star in Sex Pics Row Threatened a Second Young Person He Met on Dating App

A new series of bombshell allegations, reported by the BBC itself, says the unnamed host anonymously contacted the person in their early 20s on a dating app. The individual said the male star pressured them to meet up, but a meeting never actually took place.
