, the paper said the family of the young person was upset by the BBC's latest statement.
The presenter allegedly asked the young person "what have you done?" and asked them to ring their mother to get her to "stop the investigation", the paper said.BBC's culture editor Katie Razzall said the corporation's first statement appears to suggest its initial investigation may have been hampered by a lack of response from the family.
"If, at any point, new information comes to light or is provided - including via newspapers - this will be acted upon appropriately, in line with internal processes," added the BBC.
In an email to BBC staff on Sunday, director general Tim Davie said such allegations were taken "incredibly seriously" and the corporation was working rapidly on ascertaining the facts and "to ensure that these matters are handled fairly and with care".
