Kaye Adams has still not been informed of the complaint that led to her being taken off air at BBC Radio Scotland more than two weeks ago.
The broadcaster was removed from her Mornings show on Monday, October 6, but the BBC has allegedly not disclosed the details of the allegation to her.
Adams has not presented the weekday programme since that date, with Stephen Jardine and Connie McLaughlin stepping in to host.
The BBC confirmed that said she has not “permanently left” the corporation, which she joined in 2010 to front the daily phone-in show.
A BBC Scotland spokesperson told The Guardian: “We would not comment on individuals. If any complaints or concerns are raised we have robust internal processes in place to manage these.”
They also did not comment on whether it is standard procedure to remove a presenter from air without informing them of the allegation.
A representative for Adams stressed that she has not been told the nature of the complaint: “No complaints have been presented to Miss Adams by the BBC.
“Further, she has worked for BBC Radio Scotland for more than 15 years and in that time has never had any issue raised about her.”
The TV personality has held her phone-in show at BBC Radio Scotland since 2010.
Adams also appears as a regular anchor on ITV’s Loose Women, and ITV has confirmed her position on the programme is unaffected by the BBC inquiry.
The former Strictly Come Dancing contestant’s colleagues and bosses at the rival broadcaster are said to be “shocked” at the situation with the BBC, according to the Daily Mail.
The Standard has contacted BBC Scotland for comment.
It is believed the complaints were raised under the BBC’s Call It Out scheme to challenge bad behaviour in the workplace following the scandal surrounding former MasterChef presenters Gregg Wallace and John Torode.
It is understood the complaint was lodged under the BBC’s Call It Out scheme, introduced earlier this year following an independent review into workplace culture at the corporation.
The review found that a small number of “powerful individuals” had behaved inappropriately and that managers had sometimes failed to challenge misconduct.
The report was commissioned in the aftermath of the Huw Edwards scandal, who was dismissed last year after admitting offences involving child abuse images.
In the same period, MasterChef judge Gregg Wallace was removed from his role after 45 allegations of inappropriate behaviour — including claims of unwelcome physical contact — were upheld.
Against that backdrop, senior management are said to be eager to demonstrate that complaints are taken seriously.
Separately, The Morning show is one of several programmes believed to be under review as part of a wider shake-up at BBC Scotland. The restructuring is being led by the division’s new head of audio and events, Victoria Easton-Riley, who has been tasked with revitalising the station’s schedule.
Long-serving broadcaster Shereen Nanjiani was recently dropped from her Saturday morning slot after 17 years, and the future of flagship news programme Good Morning Scotland has also reportedly faced uncertainty.
