Piers Morgan has said that the anonymous BBC presenter should 'come forward' if he has 'nothing to hide'. The former Good Morning Britain host was discussing the recent developments on the claims a BBC presenter paid a teenager around £35,000 for sexually explicit photographs, writes The Mirror.Over the weekend, it was reported that the mother of the teenager had made a complaint to the BBC after their child used money to fund a drug addiction, and she also blames the presenter for "destroying her child's life".Despite the mother's claims, a lawyer representing the young person in question has said the allegations are "not true".

In a letter to the BBC, the lawyer wrote: "For the avoidance of doubt, nothing inappropriate or unlawful has taken place between our client and the BBC personality and the allegations reported in the Sun newspaper are 'rubbish'."
