Sir Cliff Richard has called for a change in the law to ensure anonymity for people accused of sex abuse until there is a charge.

In an exclusive interview with ITV's Good Morning Britain, Sir Cliff said he still felt "tarnished" despite prosecutors saying last week that he would face no charges over allegations of historic sexual abuse.

The BBC has apologised for the distress caused for its coverage of the 2014 police raid on his home, which was broadcast live on television.

"To get the news a couple of days ago telling me that it was good news from the CPS was just fantastic," he said.

"The name should never be out there unless you have been charged.

"I feel I have every right to sue (the BBC) because of, if nothing else, gross invasion of my privacy."
