Radio presenter Kaye Adams has been taken off her BBC Radio Scotland programme following an internal complaint about her behaviour.
BBC News understands an investigation has been launched, though the corporation would not comment on the nature of allegations.
A spokesman for Ms Adams said that no complaints had been presented to her by the BBC.
The BBC Scotland press office said: “We would not comment on individuals. If any complaints or concerns are raised we have robust internal processes in place to manage these.”
Born in Falkirk, Ms Adams has worked as a journalist and presenter for nearly 40 years.
She joined BBC Radio Scotland in 2010 to host the daily phone-in programme, Call Kaye, which ended in 2015.
She is one of the hosts on the station’s Mornings programme and has been a regular panellist on ITV’s Loose Women.
In 2022 she joined the cast of Strictly Come Dancing, paired with Kai Widdrington, and was first to be eliminated.
Mornings will be presented by Connie McLaughlin on Monday.
Ms Adams has not permanently left the BBC.
Earlier this year the BBC rolled out a ‘Call It Out’ scheme to enable staff to challenge poor behaviour in the workplace.
This was in response to an independent report into workplace culture in the corporation, which found a small number of stars and managers “behave unacceptably” and bosses often fail to tackle them.
The BBC’s board had commissioned the report in the wake of the Huw Edwards scandal – the former senior news presenter admitted offences involving child abuse images last year.
Later in July, several members of staff at the BBC were sacked following revelations about abuses of power at the BBC.
That week MasterChef had been plunged into crisis, with a report upholding 45 allegations about Gregg Wallace’s behaviour on the BBC show, and another against co-host John Torode of using racist language.
Upheld claims against Wallace include one of unwelcome physical contact and another three of being in a state of undress.
Samir Shah, chairman of the BBC, acknowledged that some powerful individuals still make life “unbearable” for their colleagues.
He told presenters: “After today, let me state it clearly, if you think you’re too big a star or too important to live by the values of this organisation, not only are you wrong, but we will find you out.”
