- Former Channel 5 News presenter Claudia-Liza Vanderpuije has alleged a "toxic culture of racism, sexism, misogyny and bullying" at the show, accusing co-star Dan Walker.
- Vanderpuije is taking ITN, which produces the show, and Channel 5 to an employment tribunal in April, where Walker is expected to appear.
- Her lawyer stated that Vanderpuije claims she was a victim of "sham redundancy" after making protected disclosures about the alleged toxic culture and its impact on editorial content.
- Dan Walker denies all allegations, with a source close to him stating he is "absolutely stunned" and has received support from many witnesses.
- An independent investigation in 2024, following a "multi-pronged" complaint against Walker, found a "lack of evidence to support allegations" and cleared him of wrongdoing.
