A BBC review into Tim Westwood's alleged behaviour at the corporation is complete but will not yet be published for fear it could 'negatively impact any criminal process'.
A BBC report into the conduct of former BBC Radio 1 DJ Tim Westwood has been put on hold at the request of the Metropolitan Police. The report into what the corporation knew about the veteran hip-hop DJ's alleged behaviour was commissioned in 2022 and was initially expected to be published before Christmas last year. A freedom of information request by BBC News earlier this year revealed the broadcaster had spent more than £3m on the review so far.
'We recognise that this pause to publication will be disappointing, particularly to those who came forward to participate in the review and to whom we are very grateful. 'However, we must continue to ensure that any steps we take, including in relation to publication of the report, do not negatively impact any criminal process.
