THE BBC presenter at the centre of a scandal over alleged sex images has been accused of sending threatening messages to a second youngster.
In a new allegation, the second individual, in their early 20s, said they were first contacted on a dating app before being put under pressure to meet up.
It comes after The Sun revealed claims that a well-known BBC star paid thousands to a teen who sent him sex images.
Now a second young person has told the BBC they were sent “threatening messages” by the BBC star after suggesting they might name the presenter online.
The young person, who has no connection to the first person, said they were scared by the power the presenter held.

They claimed they never met the presenter in person.
The family of the first person told The Sun they complained to the BBC hours after the presenter tried to meet the youngster at a train station.
Their stepdad said: “Without the money, my partner’s child would have no drugs.”
Emails seen by The Sun show the stepfather told the Beeb on May 19 of bank statements detailing huge payments from the star.
The stepdad revealed he told Beeb bosses they had screenshots of contact between their child and the star.
The second person has today said after connecting on a dating app the conversation moved to other platforms.
This was when the presenter revealed their identity and told them to keep it a secret.
It comes as...
- The BBC presenter started a chat with a 17-year-old follower on Instagram - using love hearts and kisses in his messages
- The TV personality also allegedly broke lockdown laws to meet a young stranger from a dating site
- Jeremy Vine has called on the well-known BBC star to name himself as the presenter at the centre of the scandal
BBC News claimed it has seen threatening messages from the presenter to the young person.
Last week the presenter remained on air and was not even spoken to until The Sun contacted the BBC.

The first young person’s stepfather accused the BBC of lying after it said “new allegations” emerged, leading to the star’s suspension on Sunday.
The new claims were the youngster was 17 when contact began with the presenter, according to the stepdad.
He fumed: “They’re not telling the truth. I told them the youngster was 20 and it had been going on for three years.
“I told the BBC I had gone to the police in desperation but they couldn’t do anything as they said it wasn’t illegal. They knew all of this.”
He also said the money did not stop, adding: “I don’t even think they spoke to him.”
The BBC say they did call the family in June, but nobody picked up.
A lawyer for the youngster says nothing unlawful or inappropriate happened.
