The mum of the alleged victim of the sex-pictures accusations has spoken out about "loving" the BBC presenter on TV before her child showed her an image of him in his boxer shorts.

The presenter, who has not been named, has been accused of handing the youngster over £35,000 since they were 17 years of age and in return asked the alleged recipient for explicit images.

The teenager's mother claimed to The Sun that she was shocked when her child showed her a photo of the BBC star in only his underpants while on the sofa.

She claimed to the publication: “I loved watching him on TV. So I was shocked to see a picture of him sitting on a sofa in his house in his underwear.

“I immediately recognised him. He was leaning forward getting ready for my child to perform for him. My child told me, ‘I have shown things’ and this was a picture from some kind of video call.”

Senior Tory MP Caroline Dinenage said in regards to the alleged situation: “The BBC clearly has some very serious questions to answer."

The presenter at the centre of the accusations has reportedly been taken off air while the investigation continues.

The teenager's mum also claimed to the The Sun that their child has been using the money to fund a crack cocaine drug addiction.

The heartbroken mum said her child, who is now 20, is now a "ghost-like crack addict" after the three-year period.

She said that she blames the well-known star in question for "destroying" her child's life and for taking their "innocence".

The mum added: “When I see him on telly, I feel sick."

The family reportedly issued a complaint to the BBC about his alleged behaviour in May this year and begged them to make the presenter to "stop sending the cash".

A BBC spokesperson said: “We treat any allegations very seriously and we have processes in place to proactively deal with them.

"As part of that, if we receive information that requires further investigation or examination we will take steps to do this.

"That includes actively attempting to speak to those who have contacted us in order to seek further detail and understanding of the situation.

"If we get no reply to our attempts or receive no further contact that can limit our ability to progress things but it does not mean our enquiries stop.

"If, at any point, new information comes to light or is provided – including via newspapers – this will be acted upon appropriately, in line with internal processes."
