Huw Edwards seems to be the bookies favourite at the moment…

[–] ojmcelderry@lemmy.one 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Given the Snapchat photo that's been trending on Twitter today – it seems increasingly likely to be Huw!

[–] leaskovski@kbin.social 1 points 1 year ago

Something that I wasn't expecting to see... Huws arse!

[–] Scarecrow59@lemmy.one 3 points 1 year ago

Ive noticed he's not on the bbc news intro anymore. Could just be coincidence though.

[–] TeaHands@lemmy.world 9 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Someone clue me in here? Very confusing post with no context 😅

The title isn’t exactly clear. I’d assumed a BBC presenter was buying blow from a kid, but that ain’t it at all. The presenter was paying for nudes and the kid was buying blow.

[–] TeaHands@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago

Oh. News. Eww.

(thanks!)

[–] Teknikal@lemmy.world 8 points 1 year ago

Been so long since I've watched anything on the BBC I can't even have a guess

Nah. Refbot! Sgt Bash was onto him.

[–] flamingmongoose@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

The authority went to his head. Maybe that's why Bash was disappeared 😱

[–] Arrakis@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Oh shit lads I think you're onto something there!

[–] DakRalter@thelemmy.club 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

It's one of the teletubbies. That Tinky winky was always a bit sus.

[–] Arrakis@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

With a winky that tinky, can you blame him?

[–] rarkgrames@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

My money’s on Gordon the gopher. He was always a dodgy looking fuck.

[–] leaskovski@kbin.social 5 points 1 year ago

Gary Liniker... BBC are trying to get their own back by stitching him up

[–] Mr_Blott@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Pretty much any of the Chasers

[–] Oneeightnine@feddit.uk 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Don't wanna be that guy but that's an ITV show. Now if you wanna talk about the Eggheads, now that I could believe.

The Eggheads all have such bad vibes. At least when CJ killed someone it was in self defence.

[–] Arrakis@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Especially Hegarty.

[–] feedum_sneedson@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

Don't know, hope it's funny though.

[–] Scarecrow59@lemmy.one 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

It could be anyone!! Who hasn't been on air recently?

[–] Arrakis@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

Jimmy Saville! I always thought he was a wrongun.

[–] Azerick@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 year ago

Definitely Mr Tumble!

Rob Brydon has always seemed a bit off to me

[–] Christopher@lemm.ee 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

No, not Rob Brydon!

The rumours are though that it is a different revered Welshman. I kinda hope it's somebody else.

[–] Arrakis@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

Maybe we should Corden off Wales.

Badumtissh

(Yes I know the rumours weren't about him, but we should never let truth get in the way of a good* pun)

Well I'm not going to mention the name but the "Economic Times" has posted a name that has not been mentioned in this thread so far. Not sure where they got the info but it is a presenter on holiday.

[–] leaskovski@kbin.social 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

hah! They have edited the article to remove the said name.

[–] Christopher@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago

Probably just in time to protect themselves against litigation. Now that it's out, I can say that for some reason the news website in question posted that it was breakfast presenter Jon Kay (of whom I have never heard) that was suspended. Apparently he's just on holiday though.

The only news outfit to publically name anyone before the public statement, and they got it wrong. Bravo! 👏
