Suzi Mann, who presents BBC Asian Networks Official Asian Music Chart Show, has accused former boxer Amir Khan for "flirting" and "making sexual advances" towards her after they first met in 2016.

The former BBC presenter revealed that she felt uncomfortable with the Strandzha Cup winner and tried to “remain professional” even when he resorted to calling and leaving seductive voicemails.

Taking to Instagram, Suzi posted a picture of herself and the I'm A Celebrity star in 2016 , which has now been taken down, and captioned it, "I first met Amir Khan in 2016 whilst I was hosting Arijit Singh in Manchester!"

"A couple of days after the concert, I started receiving WhatsApp messages from an unknown number, with someone claiming to be Amir Khan! I immediately had to ask, actor or boxer? Unfortunately it was the latter," she continued.

"On a more serious note, these messages continued and then I started to receive calls and voicemails from Amir Khan himself."

The single mother mentioned that she had been in the industry for a considerable time and had developed a keen sense of recognizing when someone was flirting and making sexual advances.

“This was not something I felt comfortable with and I chose to not entertain it, but remained professional."

After Amir's separation from his wife Faryal Makhdoom, Suzi came forward with a claim. According to reports, the former boxer allegedly begged the model for photos and invited her to meet up with him.

Former boxer has admitted that he made a mistake by commenting “nice” on the woman's picture and acknowledged his sexting problem.
