LOOSE Women star Kaye Adams has been taken off her BBC radio show amid allegations of bullying, as reported.

At 62, she has reportedly been removed from the air after allegedly “shouting” and “screaming” at junior staff members.

It is believed she has been compelled to step back from her £155,000-a-year Mornings With Kaye Adams show while BBC executives conduct an investigation.

Adams has been hosting the three-hour phone-in show on BBC Radio Scotland since 2010.

However, the Loose Women presenter has not been on the airwaves since October 6.

BBC Scotland declined to comment on the allegations but confirmed that Adams had not permanently left the organization.

A spokesperson for the broadcaster told The Sun: “We would not comment on any individual case.

“If any complaints or concerns are raised, we have robust internal processes in place to manage these.”

Sources indicate that Kaye “stormed out” of a meeting with the station’s new head of audio, Victoria Easton Riley, just two days after her last show.

Complaints were filed against Adams, who also hosts ITV’s Loose Women, under the BBC’s Call It Out scheme.

This scheme was initiated following the MasterChef scandal, which led to a misconduct investigation resulting in the departures of its long-time hosts.

Wallace was dismissed in July following an inquiry into his alleged misconduct by production company Banijay.

Forty-five allegations against him, including one of “unwelcome physical contact,” were found to be substantiated.

His co-host, Torode, was also fired by the BBC that same month for allegedly using the N-word twice.

The Sun understands he repeated lyrics from rapper's hit Gold Digger, which contain the racial slur, at an after-work gathering.

He is reported to have used the word again while conversing with a colleague on the show’s production team.

This situation arises as the BBC faced sanctions from Ofcom after a controversial Gaza documentary was found to have breached broadcasting regulations.

The documentary was criticized after it was revealed that its narrator was the son of a Hamas official.

The broadcaster spent £400,000 of license payers’ money producing the documentary, which was labeled a “propaganda show” for the terrorist group Hamas.

It was disclosed that the main narrator was 13-year-old Abdulla Eliyazour – the son of senior official Dr. Ayman Al-Yazouri.

Ofcom stated that the failure to disclose the boy’s father’s position was “materially misleading.”

This ruling means the BBC will be required to broadcast a statement of Ofcom’s findings on BBC2 at 9 PM on a date to be determined by the regulator.

In response, the BBC stated that it “accepted Ofcom’s decision in full.”

Adams has previously voiced her opinions on ITV’s decision to reduce the Loose Women lineup as part of a significant overhaul of its daytime programming.

This change meant the female-led lunchtime talk show would only air for 30 weeks each year.

As a result, the full roster of 26 presenters and panelists would no longer be needed.

Speaking on her podcast, How to be 60, Kaye expressed that she felt as if ‘the rug had been pulled’ from underneath her.

She admitted: “It did come out of the blue. I didn’t anticipate it, which is probably foolish in retrospect. You get into a sort of rhythm of life.

“I had a couple of sleepless nights, I must say, because it feels like the rug has been pulled from under your feet – what has been familiar.”

The Sun has reached out to Adams’ representatives for a comment.
