A top female BBC star was reportedly forced to apologise to executives after flashing a d**k pic to a junior staff member.

Per The Sun, the unnamed TV star (in the top 50 earners) shared the unsolicited image with a ‘completely horrified’ junior staff member from her mobile phone after asking about their preferences.

The person in the image is also unknown, but per a source, the interaction was ‘meant to be jokey, locker-room type banter’ which ultimately drove the junior staffer to tears.

The insider continued to the publication: ‘It’s a ticking time bomb…

‘As soon as the name of this woman – and details of her bad behaviour – are unleashed, it will derail entire departments and mark the first female to be formally swept up into the BBC’s wrongdoing roll call.’

They added: ‘She felt like it was an intentionally shocking move to intimidate, veiled as a joke. It was way too much. The woman had to apologise to the girl…. The release of her name would be seismic.’

The alleged incident comes after a series of scandals that have rocked several big stars associated with the BBC and their biggest shows.

Most recently, MasterChef presenters Gregg Wallace and John Torode were fired after a review into misconduct allegations against Wallace.

Meanwhile, former news anchor Huw Edwards was also removed after admitting to three charges of making indecent photographs of children and being handed a suspended six-month prison sentence.

Metro has reached out to the BBC for comment.
