Sue Perkins | Ex-Bake Off host claims colleagues laughed after harassment incident

When an employee goes to work, there is the expectation that they will be treated fairly and in a way that is free from discrimination and harassment.

Particularly if there is an incident relating to the latter two points, colleagues should be prepared to report any behaviour that makes the employee or themselves feel uncomfortable.

Yet, when filming for a BBC show in Cambodia in 2014, TV personality Sue Perkins claimed that she was ‘groped’ by a hermit monk while the camera crew looked on and laughed – The Daily Mail reported.

The monk was supposed to be talking about the struggles of living under the Khmer Rouge but ended up groping her, according to Perkins. Rather than her colleagues stepping in to help, it was alleged that the camera crew were ‘crying with laughter’.
