The BBC today backed a star presenter forced to correct the phrase 'pregnant people' to 'women' on her autocue while broadcasting live - and ruled out the need for any investigation, MailOnline can reveal.
There were concerns amongst colleagues that Martine Croxall could be disciplined after Justin Webb was told he partially breached BBC guidelines for describing trans women as 'males' during a Radio 4 debate.
But Martine's bosses are said to have been 'intensely relaxed' after her intervention and have also decided there is no need for a probe into how the phrase 'pregnant people' ended up in her script.
They have already concluded it was an innocent mistake - rather than act of defiance on behalf of the trans community following the Supreme Court's ruling in April.
MailOnline can reveal that Ms Croxall couldn't hide her 'shock and frustration' when she was forced to change an autocue line from 'pregnant people' to 'women' live on air.
