The death of a 15-year-old girl reportedly abused by a "world famous singer" after filming Top of the Pops at the BBC should be investigated, a friend of the teenager has said.
Claire McAlpine was apparently picked out of the show’s audience in 1971 and taken for dinner and to a hotel with an unnamed celebrity.
Kelly Gold, a friend of the girl and a fellow member of the show's young audience, told the Sunday Mirror: “Claire’s voice needs to be heard and her death fully investigated.
“Several people involved in abusing her are still alive. She would still be alive today if they [the BBC] had listened to her.”
The circumstances surrounding Claire’s death have resurfaced in recent days following claims Tony Blackburn was sacked by the BBC over suggestions he “seduced” the teenager.
The new allegations follow the discovery of new documents suggesting the veteran DJ had been interviewed regarding the incident in the 1970s, which he refutes.
Mr Blackburn, 73, has strenuously denied the claims and said he is being “scapegoated” by the broadcaster.
