Al Porter, the comedian who also hosts Blind Date, has been accused of sexual misconduct by fellow comedians

Al Porter, the television host and Today FM presenter, has been accused by four fellow performers of numerous incidents of sexual misconduct.

The Times can also reveal that a separate complaint was raised with Today FM management regarding unsolicited sexual messages that Mr Porter, a comedian who also hosts Blind Date, sent over Facebook to a musician earlier this year. The posts were sent after the performer’s Irish band appeared on the station.

A spokesman for the station said last night that it did not comment on staff issues. It is understood that the broadcaster considers the matter dealt with. Separately, four comedians told The Times that they had been touched inappropriately by Mr Porter at shows over the past five years.
