The 62-year-old was among the famous faces forced to clear their name after allegations that a BBC presenter paid £35,000 for explicit photographs.
Nicky Campbell has spoken about his “distressing weekend” after he was “falsely named” as the BBC presenter accused of paying a teenager for sexually explicit pictures.
“So a bit of perspective here, worse things happen at sea as they say, but it was a distressing weekend, I can’t deny it, for me and others falsely named. Today I am having further conversations with the police in terms of malicious communication and with lawyers in terms of defamation.” “I think it’s important to take a stand. There’s just too many of these people on social media. Thanks for your support friends,” he wrote.
On his BBC radio show, a caller rang to say she was “so angry and cross” that Campbell and others had to come forward and clear their names. Campbell responded: “I’m all good, Jeremy and also others involved as well, Rylan and also Gary , yeah it’s uncomfortable but as I said earlier worse things happen at sea.Gary Lineker, Rylan Clark and Jeremy Vine stated they are not the presenter in question, with Lineker tweeting: “Hate to disappoint the haters but it’s not me.
