European football’s governing body UEFA, which had already suspended Coote, has now opened an investigation into his conduct.
“A UEFA ethics and disciplinary inspector has been appointed to evaluate a potential violation of the UEFA disciplinary regulations by the referee Mr David Coote,” it said in a statement.
“Further information regarding this matter will be made available in due course.”
A PGMOL spokesman said on Wednesday that the organisation was aware of the second video.
“We are aware of the allegations and are taking them very seriously. David Coote remains suspended pending a full investigation,” said a PGMOL spokesman.
“David’s welfare continues to be of utmost importance to us and we are committed to providing him with the ongoing necessary support he needs through this period. We are not in a position to comment further at this stage.”
