Married BBC presenter denied sleeping with Lord sewel

The mystery BBC star who Lord Sewel told prostitutes he had sex with in his attic today demanded he publicly retract the claim.

The presenter today 'absolutely' denied Sewel's assertion that they had previously only had a 'one off s***' because 'she was happily married'.

Disgraced peer Sewel, 69, who finally quit the House of Lords yesterday, told two sex workers that he 'had her in the attic'.

Today the furious broadcaster said Sewel had made it up.

She told The Times: 'I would like a retraction from Lord Sewel. This is a categorical denial. I do not want to say anything else, I do not want to give the story legs.'

Sewel spoke out when the woman appeared on TV, giving her name, the programmes she worked on and even said had appeared on TV together afterwards.

New scandal: Lord Sewel, who has stood down from the House of Lords, boasted of having sex with a BBC presenter in a new film

He added: 'She was very young and it was very pleasant. Quite pleasant, yeah, it was nice you know, I liked her.'

One of Sewel's apparent mistresses was a Labour party member he claimed he bedded for 20 years.
Asked her name, he would only say: 'Catherine,' but when asked for a surname he said: 'We'll leave it there'.

It also emerged that he has paid prostitutes a total of £12,000 over the past three years after meeting them in a Soho lapdancing club.
Lord Sewel also claimed to sex workers he had committed adultery with 13 women over 17 years – not including prostitutes.

Explaining to the call girls how he had sex with women he met through politics, he said: 'I had women I was friendly with, often in Scotland who would be down here doing meetings and things.'

The revelations came as Lord Sewel finally quit the House of Lords and issued an apology for the 'pain and embarrassment' he caused his humiliated family.

The former Labour peer had been under growing pressure to give up his seat after a video emerged which appeared to show him snorting cocaine from the breasts of a prostitute using a £5 note at his flat in Dolphin Square.

The footage showed him wearing an orange bra and leather jacket as he smoked a cigarette.

After the video was published by the Sun on Sunday, he was suspended from the Labour party and resigned as deputy Lords speaker and chairman of the privileges and conduct committee.


Jennifer Sewel, 54, the third wife of the peer, opted not to discuss news of his sex and drugs shame with two call girls.

Instead she sent a friend to the door of the whitewashed house, who said pointedly: 'Lord Sewel is not here and is not expected.'

Lord Sewel shares a £1.2million home near Aberdeen with his wife. They married in 2005 and her two children from a previous marriage have taken his name.

Rosemary Langeland, 69, who became Sewel's first wife in 1968, politely declined to comment at her home in Edinburgh.

Last night, police armed with a battering ram and helped by a sniffer dog swooped on Sewel's rent-protected flat near Parliament where he hosted his drug and sex party.

The flat is in a building at the centre of the police investigation into a VIP child sex ring.

Lord Sewel has a studio apartment at the 7.5-acre estate which is popular with MPs and peers because it is a short walk from Westminster.

There is also a restaurant, spa and fitness centre.

Officers began looking into claims last year that for years, prominent figures including
VIPs, Whitehall officials and MPs plied young boys from local care homes with alcohol before ferrying them to flats at Dolphin Square where they were abused.
