Overview
- Walker did not attend the first day on Monday and instead hosted Classic FM Live with Myleene Klass at the Royal Albert Hall.
- Former Channel 5 co‑host Claudia‑Liza Vanderpuije has brought claims of sexism, misogyny and workplace bullying against Walker, with ITN and Channel 5 owner Paramount also named.
- The case is being heard at the London Central tribunal and is scheduled to run for about five weeks.
- ITN says the claim is denied in full and Walker publicly denies sexism, misogyny, racism and bullying, pointing to a prior independent inquiry he says cleared him.
- Reports say settlement talks included a £4 million figure, while Vanderpuije’s team says respondents initiated multiple offers that she rejected, and coverage also notes she has faced abusive messages online.
