‘BBC Breakfast’ Editor Richard Frediani Returns To Work Amid Bullying Allegations


'BBC Breakfast' editor Richard Frediani has returned to work as a bullying row continues to grip the UK's most-watched morning show.

He has supporters at Breakfast, who have rallied to his side to champion his news judgment, high standards, and ability to deliver award-winning stories, not least a BAFTA prize for the show’s coverage of the Post Office scandal. We revealed that Munchetty was among those who had raised concerns, though The Sun later reported that the presenter had been “reprimanded” over her own conduct, including allegedly using a “crude slang term for a sex act” during an off-air discussion on Radio 5 Live. BBC chair Samir Shah said the Change Associates review was a “line in the sand.” He added that the corporation would support those who raise concerns and that he had no tolerance for people who “abuse power or punch down or behave badly.”
