Used toilet paper sent to BBC host

BBC presenter Adrian Chiles is reportedly among a number of the corporation's stars to have been sent soiled toilet paper in the post.

Match of the Day 2 host Chiles said he had received about eight packages, which he described as "disgusting".

"The smell is not something you want first thing in the morning," he said.

The corporation said in a statement: "From time to time, BBC presenters and staff do receive malicious and nuisance mail, although we do try to intercept it wherever possible.

"We try to avoid commenting on individual cases because, very often, those sending such mail gain pleasure from publicity."
