It is believed the complaints were raised under the BBC’s Call It Out scheme to address bad behaviour in the workplace – an initiative set up in the aftermath of the scandal over former MasterChef presenters Gregg Wallace and John Torode.

BBC Scotland refused to comment on the allegations against former Strictly contestant Ms Adams but confirmed she had not left the organisation permanently.
A spokesman added: “We would not comment on any individual case. If any complaints or concerns are raised we have robust internal processes in place to manage these.”
A representative for Ms Adams said: “No complaints have been put to Miss Adams by the BBC. She has worked for BBC Radio Scotland for more than 15 years and in that time has never had any issue raised about her.”
Ms Adams has been a long-standing presenter of ITV’s daytime talkshow Loose Women – which she hosted on Friday – and also works for the BBC as a freelance presenter as well as hosting her phone-in show on BBC Radio Scotland, a job she has had since 2010.
She has been replaced on air by Connie McLaughlin since the start of this month.
