A female BBC star allegedly showed an explicit picture to a junior member of staff in the latest sex scandal to hit the broadcaster.
Bosses hauled the top talent in for a series of crisis talks about the incident and made her apologise for the unsolicited 'd*** pic'.
It is believed the woman is ranked in the Corporation's top 50 earners this year.
She apparently asked a stunned junior employee about her preferences before brandishing the unwanted nude image, the identity of which is unknown.
The story is thought to have been kept secret for some time, remaining the subject of gossip within the BBC's offices.
