BBC presenter Stephen Nolan said he is "deeply sorry" after a newspaper reported that he shared a sexually explicit photograph.
. The Irish news also said that a former member of staff made a claim of bullying and harassment against Nolan which was not upheld. Meanwhile, there were claims that messages between team members on programmes associated with the star presenter included abusive remarks about politicians. He discussed the report during an appearance on his morning radio show on Friday .He said: "We have had days, as you probably know, of headlines about me and the Nolan team in the papers this week. I am not ignoring the story.
"It is just that the BBC has processes in place to deal with staff complaints and I do and need to totally respect those processes. They have got to be confidential for them to work.“I can say one thing though and it is that I am sorry. There was a photograph, it was widely available on the internet and I was talking to a long-term friend and peer outside of work. I am deeply sorry.”
It comes after the BBC refused to comment on the allegations made earlier this week. Nolan is the fifth-highest paid talent with the BBC, reportedly earning between £400,000 to £404,999.
