BBC broadcaster Tony Livesey did not appear on his 5Live show last night after he was named in a Panorama investigation by a glamour model who claims she was forced to have sex with David Sullivan to get work.
The woman, whose name was changed to Florence to protect her identity, claimed that Sullivan 'took away her innocence' and pressured her into sleeping with him in 1999.
Florence, then 20, claims she met Tony Livesey, then editor of the Daily and Sunday Sport newspapers, and he telephoned Sullivan to arrange a date for her to visit the businessman's house.
She alleged Sullivan told her at the meeting that she would be one of his newspapers' 'regular girls' - as a glamour model - if they had sex. She claims he manoeuvred her into one of his bedrooms for sex.
Livesey, who claimed in his book to have come up with the 'Countdown to 16' pornographic feature picturing topless 16-year-old girls, told the BBC he has 'no recollection' of the alleged incident Florence described.
