The BBC has confirmed it is reconsidering naming its new London headquarters after DJ John Peel following claims he abused a 15 year old girl which resulted in her becoming pregnant.
The reports on Peel’s abuse also suggest that the late DJ wrote to the girl, Jane Nevin, to express his relief that she had went through with an abortion.
Earlier this year the corporation announced that a section of the newly refurbished BBC Broadcasting House in central London would be called the John Peel Wing in tribute to the Radio 1 presenter, who died in 2004.
At the time then director general Mark Thompson described Peel as a "great ambassador" for the corporation.
A BBC spokesman said: "Clearly, in the event of proven allegations of sexual abuse the BBC would re-consider its decision on the naming of part of our new building."
