Myleene Klass & Dan Walker's Glam Night, Amid Bullying Tribunal

0:00It's April 20th, I'm Corey with The Story. This is Entertainment and Celebrity News today, driven by AI and built for the culture. My lean class and Dan Walker took the staves together hosting Classic FM Live at London's Royal Albert Hall this week. The duo presented a night of hits from the City of Birmingham Symphony Orchestra, featuring Rossini's William Tell Overture, Bizet's Carmen and John. Williams' score for ET was a glamorous spotlight moment for the pair amid high classical vibes. Meanwhile, Claudia Liza Vanderpugie kicked off a five-week employment tribunal in London, accusing her former Channel 5 co-host Walker of bullying, sexism, and misogyny. She claims a toxic culture of racism and bullying plagued the newsroom, leading to her so-called sham redundancy after whistle-blowing. Vanderpugie spent over five years at Channel 5 News, the last year alongside Walker after he jumped from BBC in 2023. He left in 2024 and says ITN and Paramount covered up the issues despite legal duties.

1:04Walker strongly denies all charges, backed by over 50 character witnesses from athletes, journalists, and colleagues. He was fully cleared in a prior workplace probe last year over similar misconduct claims with sources noting a lack of evidence. As the tribunal heats up, Walker stays focused on his work, including that Royal Albert gig while Vanderpugie pushes her case forward eyes on how. This plays out in the coming weeks.
