  "textContent": "\n\n\nKaye Adams has broken her silence after losing her £155,000-a-year role at BBC Radio Scotland following a disciplinary investigation into her conduct.\n\nThe 63-year-old broadcaster was removed from her morning programme last October after an internal complaint was lodged.\n\n###\n\n\n\n\nThe BBC later confirmed she would not return to the role following a five-month probe.\n\nThe investigation upheld three misconduct complaints against the Scottish presenter.\n\n###\n\n\n\n\nTRENDING\n\nStories\n\nVideos\n\nYour Say\n\n###\n\n\n\n\nThese included allegations that Ms Adams threw a pen in frustration during a programme, criticised an intern’s professional abilities and used offensive language during a heated exchange years earlier.\n\nHowever, two separate bullying allegations made against the presenter were not upheld following the inquiry.\n\nMs Adams had initially remained silent following her departure from the broadcaster, but addressed the situation publicly this week in a statement shared on Instagram.\n\nShe dismissed the accusations surrounding her behaviour as “malicious stories”.\n\n###\n\n\n\n\n###\n\n\n\n\n###\n\n\n\n\nMs Adams penned: “As for ‘berating an intern’, this is simply untrue.\"\n\nShe also denied using offensive language towards women, stating: “I categorically deny using a misogynistic slur 14 years ago, and I'm horrified at its invention more than a decade later.\n\n\"It is absolutely not a word I would have used.”\n\nAddressing a further claim that she threw a pencil whilst alone in a studio, the Loose Women host responded simply: “Words fail me.”\n\n### LATEST DEVELOPMENTS\n\n\n\n\n  * Ricky Gervais says he ‘doesn’t want to go on telly again’ as partner shares cancer diagnosis\n  * BBC delights Traitors fans with future reveal but divides viewers over controversial format change\n  * Brenda Blethyn and co-star reveal 'romantic' moment they finally met on Channel 4 set\n\n\n\n###\n\n\n\n\n###\n\n\n\n\nThe former radio host said she was deeply saddened by how her 15-year tenure at the corporation was now being portrayed.\n\n“I am heartbroken that 15 years of hard work and dedication to BBC Scotland is being reduced to this,” she said.\n\nMs Adams explained she had originally attempted to maintain “a dignified silence” following her departure.\n\nHowever, she said the continued allegations had forced her to speak publicly.\n\n###\n\n\n\n\n###\n\n\n\n\n>  View this post on Instagram \n>\n> A post shared by Kaye Adams (@kayeadamsofficial)\n\nThe presenter wrote: “These attacks on my character are now so persistent, they can no longer go unchallenged.\"\n\nShe also thanked colleagues across the BBC who had privately supported her, expressing gratitude to “friends and colleagues, junior and senior, across the corporation who have sent their good wishes and support”.\n\nMs Adams began presenting on BBC Radio Scotland in 2010 and spent 15 years hosting the station’s morning programme.\n\nBeyond radio, she is still a familiar face on ITV’s Loose Women and has appeared on programmes including Strictly Come Dancing and Celebrity MasterChef.\n\n###\n\n\n\n\n###\n\n\n\n\nMs Adams has received public backing from several of her Loose Women co-stars following the allegations and her departure from the BBC.\n\nCarol McGiffin described her as a “consummate professional”, while Jane Moore, Nadia Sawalha and Denise Welch have all voiced support, with ITV continuing to keep her as a regular panellist on the show.\n\nA BBC spokesman told GB News: 'We don't comment on individual cases. We do take any reports concerning our values not being upheld extremely seriously, and when required have robust processes in place to investigate.'\n\n\n###\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n**Our Standards:The GB News Editorial Charter **",
