Bearing in mind that that the Victoria Derbyshire editor is also the Newsbeat Executive editor it starts to make sense...

And isn't that Victoria Derbyshire's husband? Or has he moved on? I know he was the subject of a disciplinary enquiry into workplace bullying...

I think you're thinking of Rod McKenzie on the last part, I don't know about any link to Victoria Derbyshire. I was referring to Louisa Compton.

No - Victoria Derbyshire's husband, Mark Sandell, was the Editor of World Have Your Say and the subject of a separate disciplinary investigation I believe (AIUI he was dismissed, appealed and was reinstated - but has since left the corporation). He was previously married to Fi Glover.

Rod McKenzie, Newsbeat editor, was certainly the subject of allegations which allegedly led to him moving on from Newsbeat

Interestingly I was listening to an old Chris Moyles show recently which more or less made a similar suggestion about Mckenzie's management style.

Yep - my point was that Victoria Derbyshire's husband/partner wasn't the former editor of Newsbeat in question.
