The BBC is under fire over its handling of accusations that a high-profile presenter paid a teenager thousands of pounds for sexually explicit photographs.

The unnamed presenter was suspended over the weekend, but the teenager's mother claims the corporation was first made aware of allegations in May.

However, a lawyer for the young person involved has reportedly said claims made by the mother in the BBC presenter scandal are "rubbish".

Dame Caroline Dinenage, who chairs the Culture, Media and Sport committee, said she was concerned the corporation had taken a "very long time" to investigate the claims.

On the Sky News Daily, Kimberley Leonard is joined by our home editor Jason Farrell and former BBC presenter Roger Bolton to explore what we know, and don't know, so far about the latest scandal to hit the BBC.
