Broadcaster Nicky Campbell has said his alleged paedophile former teacher can no longer 'hide in plain sight' after he was identified on South African TV.

Mr Campbell, who earlier this year revealed how the abuse he suffered as a young child had a 'profound effect' on his life, spoke to the newspaper about the unmasking of his alleged abuser.
