It comes after an independent review was conducted by former ITN boss John Hardie.
The BBC has set out new rules for flagship presenters after a tweet by Gary Lineker prompted an impartiality row.
Presenters on flagship shows must not endorse or attack a political party, criticise the character of individual politicians in the UK, comment on political debate during a UK general election or referendum, or take up an official role in campaigning groups, it said.The BBC named Dragons’ Den’s Evan Davis, The One Show’s Alex Jones, MasterChef hosts John Torode and Gregg Wallace, and Match Of The Day’s Mark Chapman and Lineker among those who fall under the rules.
BBC radio presenters Greg James, Zoe Ball and Vernon Kay and Scott Mills were also named as presenters of flagship programmes, but the full list will be “kept under review”, the broadcaster said.
