Matt Wiessler says he is a ‘through-and-through BBC person’ and saga should not be used against it
The whistleblower who exposed Martin Bashir’s wrongdoing at the BBC has said the scandal should not be used to undermine the national broadcaster, as he accepted an apology from its director general.
Matt Wiessler, a graphic designer, was blacklisted by the BBC after revealing how he had been asked by Bashir to fake bank statements in 1995 as part of an attempt to secure an interview with Diana, Princess of Wales.
