Overview

  • A widely shared video shows Chris Moyles in 2002 saying he wanted to take Charlotte Church's virginity when she was 15, prompting fresh calls for the BBC to investigate.
  • The BBC said Moyles left in 2012 and that similar language would not be tolerated today.
  • No formal BBC investigation into Moyles has been announced.
  • Reports at the time said the Broadcasting Standards Commission condemned the original remark.
  • The clip’s return follows the recent sacking of Scott Mills over separate historic allegations, which has intensified scrutiny of past presenter conduct at the BBC.
