A call for evidence about what was known about Tim Westwood’s conduct during his time at the BBC has been extended in a bid to encourage more people to come forward.
The broadcaster has also appointed an independent safeguarding expert, Jahnine Davis, to assist with the review.
Gemma White, the barrister leading the investigation into the former hip hop DJ, who has been accused of a string of sexual assaults against women, was appointed by the BBC Board in August.
Her independent review comes after an internal investigation found the corporation should have further explored issues raised at the time.
