Loose Women star Kaye Adams is reportedly being supported by ITV after she was suspended from her BBC radio show following bullying allegations.
Adams, 62, has been removed from her Mornings With Kaye Adams programme on BBC Radio Scotland while an investigation is conducted into claims she “shouted and screamed” at junior staff.

It is believed the complaints were raised under the BBC’s Call It Out scheme to challenge bad behaviour in the workplace following the scandal surrounding former MasterChef presenters Gregg Wallace and John Torode.
Adams is not expected to return to BBC radio for at least two weeks while an inquiry is carried out, a senior BBC source said.

Amid the furore, ITV is reportedly standing by Adams and has confirmed her role as a regular panellist on Loose Women is safe.
The former Strictly Come Dancing contestant’s colleagues and bosses at ITV sare “shocked” at the situation with the BBC, sources told the Daily Mail.

An insider told the outlet: “Kaye is regarded as one of the more calm members of the Loose Women cast.”
ITV declined to comment when contacted by The Standard.
Adams occupies the 9am to midday slot several days a week with Mornings With Kaye Adams, but has been off air since October 6. She has been replaced on air by Connie McLaughlin.
Adams’ spokesperson said “no complaints had been presented to her by the BBC”.
He added: “Further, she has worked for BBC Radio Scotland for more than 15 years and in that time has never had any issue raised about her.”
The TV personality has held her phone-in show at BBC Radio Scotland since 2010.
Sources claimed she had a meeting with the BBC’s new head of audio, Victoria Easton-Riley, earlier this month.

The insider said: “The meeting did not go well… She hasn’t been back since and she’s not been on air.”
They added: “There have been complaints about her behaviour, and they’ve removed her while they investigate it. It’s being talked about all over Pacific Quay [BBC Scotland’s headquarters].
“After the Gregg Wallace fiasco, they’re now getting much tougher on complaints about the talent and are starting to take these things seriously.”
BBC Scotland declined to comment on the allegations against Adams but confirmed she had not left the organisation.

Wallace, 60, was sacked from MasterChef in July after a report upheld 45 allegations of misconduct on the show.
The report found that Wallace had made inappropriate sexual remarks and culturally insensitive comments, undressed in front of colleagues on several occasions and engaged in one incident of unwelcome physical contact.
Wallace and his legal team have consistently denied the allegations, insisting “it is entirely false that he engages in behaviour of a sexually harassing nature”.
However, he did apologise for what he described as a “difference in perception” around one case of unwanted touching, adding: “I am deeply sorry for any distress caused. It was never intended.”
Wallace’s former co-presenter John Torode was also implicated in the review, which alleged he had used a racial slur — an accusation Torode said he did not recall.
