Relates to an inappropriate text message(s) to a female One Show employee - Broke while he was on-air at TalkShite. I'm sure there'll be allegations of racism considering what the BBC has sat on recently for a white employee, but I imagine that's probably why Beeb are pulling the trigger early on with this - To show people they can/do act (when they previously could, but didn't)

The BBC could not do anything about Edwards as there was a live Police investigation, this is an internal matter. Race has nothing to do with it.

Yeah I know (Little Britain voice) - I don't subscribe to that theory but some people of colour on X.com seem to be doing (I know that most of those accounts will be fake accounts designed to whip up a shit storm and drive engagement figures up)

They probably aren't fake accounts

It's human nature but most people don't bother to read into things in any depth or place any weight on details that conflict with their pre-existing biases

Was a shoe-in for MOTD after Big Gaz.

Shame if all he's done is send a winky pic.

 

I have a sneaky suspicion (& I’m probably wrong) that it’s not that bad. But they’re terrified of making the same mistake after letting Hugh Edwards carry on working.

The tone of it all definitely seems reads as an employment issue i.e. misconduct/gross misconduct rather than criminal

Allegedly he held the door open for a female colleague and they brushed hands.

She put a complaint in to HR for sexual harassment.

That doesn't fit with the BBC's reporting of "unsolicited digital communications including texts to a member of a production team".

Close escape for the audience then. Jenas is awful.

Probably says more about people’s perception of you than it does about them… 😬
