Blue Peter special Gold Badge winner Mark Thompson Jnr was quoted as saying " guess the Disney trips off this year then Dad"
BBC director-general Mark Thompson said today:
"WTF?
"Sounds like we've been outed. And it was s-u-c-h a damned good scam, saving the Corporation literally tens of millions of pounds in pay rises, annual bonuses and additional recruitment costs."
Some UK press sources have said that today's headlines are nothing new and that the scam has been the longest-running and most successful of any BBC enterprise since the 1960s kid's show Crackerjack.
But Thompson remains unrepentant:
"There is no need for a witch hunt. I know the idea of deceiving the public would occur to most people in the BBC."
Comp Winner Mrs Thompson said "bugger, if the dish washer has to go back I want a divorce"
