A second person has come forward with a complaint about a BBC presenter accused of paying a young person thousands of pounds for sexually explicit photos.
The person told BBC News they felt threatened by the unnamed star at the centre of a row over payment for sexually explicit photos.
The individual in their early 20s was first contacted anonymously by the male presenter on a dating app, according to the BBC.
They reportedly said they were put under pressure to meet up but never did.

The new claims come after the BBC suspended the unnamed male star over allegations published by The Sun newspaper that the high-profile presenter paid a teenager for explicit images.
The BBC said it did not put allegations made by the young person’s family to the presenter until seven weeks after they were first raised.
The corporation released its own timeline of events over the allegations.
The Metropolitan Police confirmed it had asked the BBC to halt proceedings while officers assess whether a criminal act has been committed.
