BBC star ‘filed complaint against host Nick Robinson days after joining Today programme’

BBC star ‘filed complaint against host Nick Robinson days after joining Today programme’

RADIO 4’s Emma Barnett filed a complaint against fellow BBC host Nick Robinson days after ­joining the Today programme, it is claimed.

Sources say she also branded the former Beeb political editor “overbearing”;, but the matter was resolved without any action being taken.

There was no suggestion Mr Robinson did anything wrong — amid talk of “clashing egos”;.

One source told the Mail on Sunday “Emma made a complaint about Nick”;, adding tensions meant they “can’t be on together as she finds him overbearing”;.

Others inside the BBC played down the spat, denying there was a formal complaint to news chief Deborah Turness.

Ex-Woman’s Hour ­presenter Ms Barnett has presented Today with Mr Robinson 13 times since joining last year — far less than other pairings.

The duo are not believed to have been seen together for 90 days, according to The Times.

One senior source said: “Nick has his views about the programme and can be quite blunt.

“Every time [Barnett] is on, she is paired with Justin or Amol because it's amicable.”

“Emma and Nick are going to have to appear together again at some point because they are a team,” they added.

It comes after suggestions the presenters might rarely appear together due to the departure of Mishal Husain.

Their schedule is likely to settle with the arrival of Anna Foster, who is replacing Husain.

Flying Eze has contacted the BBC for comment.

Barnett began hosting Women's Hour at the age of 26 but left the show last year.
