A Teaching Regulation Agency disciplinary panel sitting in Coventry saw screenshots of the messages exchanged between Neve and Child X.
When he asked Child X if he was gay or bi-sexual, Neve claimed he had mistakenly sent him the message instead of to a friend as part of a dare on a night out.
But the panel rejected that explanation and said Neve also sent another message about Child X s sexuality directly on WhatsApp.
Neve also sent him a photo of his cat saying it s not all about size which the panel said had innuendo connotations .
Neve also told Child X that he had been a naughty boi (sic) at a sleepover.
