Overview

  • BBC has placed Munchetty under formal review as executives consider escalating multiple complaints into a full investigation.
  • Staff have lodged reports of a ‘hard’ and ‘bullying’ tone on BBC Breakfast and Radio 5 Live, including allegations of an off-air sexual jibe.
  • An intern has claimed Munchetty humiliated junior staff by reprimanding them over a porridge delivery error.
  • Director Richard Frediani returned to his duties this week after completing a separate inquiry into his conduct on the same programme.
  • A BBC spokesperson stressed that the corporation will not tolerate behaviour that conflicts with its values and encourages staff to report concerns through formal channels.
