No and there's been hints and rumours about him before. The article today has brought out a few other stories and there's still 2 parts to go from Byline.
Thing is that he's not much of a household name and multiple newspapers and TV channels are implicated in the allegations so it's not going to gain any traction

To be very clear, we will take the same approach on this as has been taken with other stories about presenters on other channels recently. Which is if you want to discuss what tabloid/site x is saying about person y, or engage in idle speculation around it, then there are plenty of other places online in which you can do this. This forum is not the place for it.

Thankfully for GB News they've had Farage's closed bank account to focus on. Their news bulletin just now lead with it, as is DW.
Meanwhile the channel has been getting free exposure today in most of the 'mainstream media', for the other story.
Formerly 'Charlie Wells' of TV Forum.

Farage delivering Breaking News about Farage’s bank account closure. Surely that’s got to be an Ofcom breach and presumably not the first since this story broke.
Seems a massive conflict of interest for him to be covering this story.

Imagine claiming to be “The People’s Channel” and dedicating so much time to this story.

Good to see the BBC's Tomasz Schafernaker correcting GB News today about heat temperatures. Neil Oliver made up loads of lies on the Dan Wootton programme last night.

Feels deeply inappropriate for a BBC weather presenter to be grtting involved in partisan debates like this.
