  • Reported allegations include a crude sexual remark made off air in 2022 and a claim that a junior colleague was bullied.
  • Munchetty continues to present on air during the process, while co-presenter Charlie Stayt is still described as under review.
  • PwC is supporting the review of the show’s workplace culture in Salford, and editor Richard Frediani was reported cleared in September.
