The employee is one of the most popular and well-paid on the network, responsible for reporting the death and funeral of Queen Elizabeth II on the network.

London’s Metropolitan Police completed their assessment of the allegations and said there was no indication that a crime had been committed. The BBC says it will continue its internal investigation into the allegations.
