The BBC was under fire today after it claimed a second 'dirty dossier' on Donald Trump exists and was accused of attaching too much credibility to the first one.

Foreign correspondent Paul Wood said last night that former British spy Christopher Steele is not the only person to say the Kremlin has covert footage related to his sex life.

He said a security source told him of 'more than one tape' on 'more than one date'.

Buzzfeed has been widely castigated - including by Trump himself - over publishing the salacious claims even though they have been unverified.

Last night Mr Trump barracked BBC International Correspondent Ian Pannell,telling the reporter to stand up when he tried to ask a question and then said: 'BBC News - there's another beauty'.

But Mr Wood said in a BBC blog last night: 'The former MI6 agent is not the only source for the claim about Russian kompromat on the president-elect.

'Back in August, a retired spy told me he had been informed of its existence by "the head of an East European intelligence agency".

'Later, I used an intermediary to pass some questions to active duty CIA officers dealing with the case file - they would not speak to me directly. I got a message back that there was "more than one tape", "audio and video", on "more than one date", in "more than one place" - in the Ritz-Carlton in Moscow and also in St Petersburg - and that the material was "of a sexual nature".'

But he did add: 'Nobody should believe something just because an intelligence agent says it', adding that no-one had aver seen the video.

The BBC has come under criticism for their coverage.

Tory MP Philip Davies has accused the BBC of jumping on the bandwagon and joining the attempt to smear Mr Trump before he takes over in the Oval Office.

He told MailOnline: ‘It seems to me that the BBC are still in Brexit mode, it was a result they couldn’t accept and understand and did everything they could to get that overturned.

‘And it seems like they’re doing exactly the same thing with Trump’s election as US president.

‘It’s more to do with the BBC’s agenda than news reports.’

After Mr Wood appeared on TV news last night journalist Iain Dale tweeted: 'The BBC News at Ten just sank to the level of Buzzfeed. An utter disgrace of a report from Paul Wood'.

David Vance wrote: '10 Minutes on the #BBC news and the State Broadcaster is in full "Get Trump" mode. The bias is visceral and utterly impotent'.

Yesterday news website Buzzfeed published all 35 pages – and Mr Trump went on the attack.

He told reporters at his New York press conference that Buzzfeed was ‘a failing pile of garbage’ and added: ‘They’re going to suffer the consequences’. He started shouting at a Buzzfeed reporter in the hall, pointing at him and repeating: ‘Fake news.’

He also ignored questions from CNN and the BBC.

Ex-MI6 agent Christopher Steele has been named as the author of the salacious Russian dossier containing outlandish claims about Donald Trump's sex life and bizarre footage allegedly held by the Kremlin's blackmail unit.

The 35-page briefing, which is littered with spelling mistakes, includes an unsubstantiated and far-fetched claim Trump watched prostitutes perform a 'golden shower (urination) show' in the Presidential Suite of a Moscow hotel.

Mr Trump called the dossier 'fake' and 'phony', even suggesting that US secret services had leaked it to damage his reputation before his inauguration.

Saying the situation was ‘like Nazi Germany’, he ranted: ‘It’s all fake news. It’s phoney stuff. It didn’t happen. And it was gotten by opponents of ours – sick people, and they put that crap together.

‘It was disgraceful that the intelligence agencies allowed any information that turned out to be so false, and fake, out. I think it’s a disgrace and that’s something that Nazi Germany would have done, and did do.’ Mr Trump ridiculed the notion of being filmed with prostitutes, saying he knew there were hidden cameras in hotel rooms.

He said: ‘I am extremely careful. I always tell my people be very careful, because in those rooms you have cameras in the strangest places – you can’t see them and you won’t know. You better be careful or you will be watching yourself on nightly television.’
