Well, my clinical advice would be, don’t endanger you mental health by perving over an adolescent, paying them tens of thousands of pounds for sordid photos and then getting caught.

Maybe, being a very high profile BBC presenter, known to millions, he might have thought that through.

And even if he did/does suffer from depression, playing the mental health card at this time will no doubt take the heat off.

Nasty press and public must not all pile on the poor fragile guy
