A review into workplace bullying and harassment at the BBC found stars behaving badly, untouchable and unchallenged, with staff too fearful to speak out.

Called Respect at Work, the review into the culture that incubated Jimmy Savile was published in 2013 .

Since then, the Huw Edwards scandal and allegations about other stars including Gregg Wallace has led to another BBC review into its own culture.

Both reports also made a series of recommendations, all enthusiastically praised by senior management.
