One Show drops Kohli over conductAs far as I'm concerned he won't be missed on the show anyway!
| Quote: | The One Show's Hardeep Singh Kohli has been dropped following a complaint of inappropriate behaviour from a female colleague, the BBC has confirmed.
Comedian and writer Kohli, 39, will take six months away from the BBC One show "to reflect on his behaviour".
The BBC said producers received an informal complaint from a production colleague several months ago.
Kohli has since "apologised unreservedly", saying he "overstepped the mark".
A BBC spokeswoman said the unnamed woman had "acknowledged that One Show management took the issue extremely seriously".
"He was reprimanded and immediately apologised. He agreed to take some time away from the show to reflect on his behaviour. "
Kohli's ban only applies to The One Show and not other BBC programmes, the BBC said.
Glaswegian Kohli, who played a roving reporter role for the show, said in a statement: "Nobody has accused me of sexual harassment.
"I recognise I over stepped the mark and have apologised unreservedly."
It is the second scandal to hit the top rated show. Earlier this year, reporter Carol Thatcher was sacked after using a racist term off-air. |

I've only seen it a couple of times never with Hardeep - I have seen him on other shows, not knowing what has been said and by whom I reserve judgment on him really because IMO people are getting far too sensitive over what actually turns out to be a joke that a few years ago a person would either laugh off or tell the person to their face it was not funny and to stop it !
