Broadcaster Kaye Adams has not been informed of any complaint against her more than two weeks after being taken off air by BBC Radio Scotland, her representative has confirmed.
Adams, also a regular host on ITV's Loose Women, was removed from the Mornings show on 6 October following what BBC News reported as “a conduct complaint”. However, the BBC has not specified the nature of the allegations, and Adams's spokesperson said no complaints had been presented to her by the corporation as of Wednesday.
A BBC Scotland spokesperson declined to comment on individual cases, stating: “If any complaints or concerns are raised we have robust internal processes in place to manage these.” The spokesperson would not clarify whether it is standard practice to suspend someone without informing them of the complaint.
Adams's representative noted that she has worked for BBC Radio Scotland for over 15 years without any previous issues. ITV confirmed that her role on Loose Women, which she has anchored since 1999, remains unchanged.
The complaint is reportedly made under the BBC's Call It Out scheme, launched after an independent review into staff culture. The review, commissioned in the wake of the Huw Edwards scandal, found that a minority of “powerful individuals” behaved unacceptably, with managers often failing to address them.
Meanwhile, the Mornings show is believed to be among those at risk in a restructuring under BBC Scotland's new head of audio and events, Victoria Easton Riley. Veteran presenter Shereen Nanjiani was recently axed after 17 years, and the future of Good Morning Scotland has also been questioned.
