BBC News Channel presenter Martine Croxall, 55, along with four other senior female presenters, has initiated legal action against the BBC, citing age and sex discrimination after being off air for over a year. This group includes Karin Giannone, Geeta Guru-Murthy, Kasia Madera, and Annita McVeigh. During her time off-air, Croxall enjoyed trips to Mexico, Bulgaria, and Thailand. The case is noted as potentially one of the most contentious employment tribunals the BBC will face since the landmark gender pay battle lost to Samira Ahmed in 2020.
