BBC Breakfast hosts Naga Munchetty and Charlie Stayt may depart following the clearing of the show's controversial boss of bullying allegations.
In a recent development, Richard Frediani, the editor of BBC Breakfast, has been cleared of the complaints made against him following an investigation. However, the specific nature of the complaints was not detailed in the article.
Despite some criticisms of his working practices, Frediani has been delivering excellent results, according to the source. The nature of these results was not specified, but the source did mention that what matters most to Frediani is delivering quality work.
Meanwhile, the hosts of BBC Breakfast, Naga Munchetty and Charlie Stayt, are currently under review as part of a "listening" investigation led by HR. This review comes after counter-claims were made against the hosts, following an investigation into BBC Breakfast.
The investigation was first revealed by The Sun in June, but the article does not provide information about the status of the investigation into Frediani's working practices.
In an earlier incident, a female editor's complaint against Richard Frediani, alleging he shook her, was upheld. However, the name of the female editor and the current status of the complaint were not disclosed in the article.
The decision to clear Frediani has reportedly left Munchetty and Stayt feeling furious, with rumours suggesting they may leave BBC Breakfast. The source did not specify the length of the "second week running" that the stand-in host will return to BBC Breakfast, nor was the identity of the stand-in host revealed.
A spokesperson for the BBC stated that they take all complaints about conduct at work extremely seriously. The Sun previously reported an incident where Naga Munchetty criticized an intern for incorrectly spreading Marmite on her toast.
Naga Munchetty is 50 years old, and Charlie Stayt is 63. Despite the current reviews and potential changes, Richard Frediani has been backed by Beeb bosses and will remain in his role on daytime and News At One.
The situation at BBC Breakfast continues to unfold, with the future of its hosts uncertain and the investigation into Frediani's working practices still ongoing. As more information becomes available, we will keep you updated.
