Kaye Adams not returning to BBC Scotland radio role after misconduct findings

Broadcaster kaye adams will not return to her Scotland radio programme after an internal investigation into her conduct. The decision ends her run on Mornings With and leaves the station's current presenter lineup in place for the immediate future.

Kaye Adams removed from Mornings With after October suspension

The 63-year-old was taken off air and suspended from her morning programme in October following an internal complaint about her conduct. The removal from Mornings With on Radio Scotland came after colleagues raised concerns about behaviour on the show.

Investigation found some complaints upheld, others not substantiated

Those who reviewed the allegations upheld some complaints against Adams while other complaints were found not to be substantiated. The internal investigation into her conduct concluded that she will not return to host her radio show.

Allegations detailed: shouting, swearing, pen-throwing and berating an intern

The complaints include accusations that Adams shouted and swore at colleagues, used what has been described as an "abhorrent swear word" at a colleague, threw a pen at a producer in frustration over an upcoming show, and berated an intern over their ability to do their job. Adams has denied wrongdoing and said her workplace "assertiveness" had been mistaken for bullying.

Victoria Easton Riley raised concerns after Pacific Quay meeting

Radio Scotland's head of audio and events, Victoria Easton Riley, became concerned about Adams's conduct after witnessing behaviour during a routine meeting at the broadcaster's Pacific Quay headquarters in Glasgow last year. An insider said that after witnessing behaviour firsthand, Victoria spoke to other staff who worked on the programme, which prompted further complaints and led to suspension; the investigation examined behaviour over many years.

statement, presenter lineup and Adams's career history

A Scotland spokesperson said the corporation does not comment on individuals or internal processes, and added: "With regard to the presentation line up on Mornings With, Kaye Adams will not be returning to this role. In the immediate future Connie McLaughlin will continue to present Mornings With on Mondays to Wednesdays, with Stephen Jardine presenting on Thursdays and Fridays. "

Adams, who was born in Falkirk, has worked as a journalist and presenter for nearly 40 years. She joined Scotland in 2010 to host Call Kaye, a daily phone-in programme that ended in 2015, and later fronted The Kaye Adams Show and Mornings With. She has also been a regular panellist on the ITV talk show Loose Women.

Pay, wider workplace scheme and final reactions

Reports named Adams's radio role as a position paying £155, 000 a year. Complaints about her conduct were raised under the 's "Call it Out" scheme, which the organisation launched last year to enable staff to challenge and report poor behaviour. That scheme followed an independent report into workplace culture that found a small number of stars and managers "behave unacceptably" and that bosses fail to tackle them.

When the allegations emerged, Adams said in October that her name had been "dragged through the mud" and that the corporation had not given her the details of the allegations. After the investigation concluded, one source said, "There is no way back for Kaye now. "
