Tim Davie has admitted to MPs that he cannot guarantee an end to controversies involving BBC stars during a grilling following a number of high-profile scandals.
The director-general admitted to MPs on the Culture, Media and Sport Committee this morning that he could not give a 'categorical assurance' that there will be no further more unsavoury elements to be weeded out.
Big stars including Gregg Wallace, John Torode and Huw Edwards have been forced out in recent years - and the broadcaster is also weathering storms over perceived bias and antisemitism.
He said he would not offer a 'running commentary' on any developing scandals within the broadcaster, but Mr Davie - who thundered that he did not recognise the term 'talent' - said that 'we may see more things coming out' in the future.
But, denying that the BBC had a 'toxic culture', he suggested that the fact that figures such as Wallace were being called out was proof that there was 'positive change' happening to weed out problematic stars.
