Jeremy Vine said on his Channel 5 show it appears the BBC presenter is eyeing a ‘fightback’ and ‘wants to be anonymous as long as possible’.
He said: ‘I haven’t spoken to him [the presenter] but I gather from somebody who has, that he is described as angry and keen to play long.
‘Now to me, that means that he wants to be anonymous for as long as possible.’
Later, Vine added: ‘I believe that he believes there’s a fightback to be had here.’
Jeremy Vine said the unnamed BBC presenter ‘will have to answer’ the allegations against him, suggesting the man will not be able to ‘remain anonymous for ever’ while continuing to work for the broadcaster.
‘Now, he must have a defence, he must have one. Maybe he’s going to say it’s all a misunderstanding? Well I assume it.
‘But the idea that he can just remain anonymous for ever and then one day walk back into the building with his ID pass, oh no, that’s not going to happen.’
