Hardeep Singh Kohli, a Scottish TV and radio presenter, comedian, author, journalist is facing fresh harassment claims.
The Times has today reported a Labour Party official and the chief executive of an addiction charity have accused Hardeep Singh Kohli of wrongdoing.

“I told him I didn’t feel comfortable but he tried to make out there was something wrong with me because I didn’t want to engage with him in sex chat.”
In 2020, 54-year-old Kohli apologised for “intimidating, undermining and undervaluing” women after several women complained about his unwanted advances, inappropriate touching and even degrading rape jokes.
“I have been reluctant to make a statement regarding the allegations against me. This is primarily because I fundamentally believe that every person should have the platform and space to say what they feel needs to be said. Any offer of context, explanation or alternative narrative would diminish their words and that is something I did not want to do. It is now clear to me that my actions and words made women feel intimidated, undermined and undervalued. For this, I apologised unreservedly, and can only hope to live a life of greater understanding,” he had said.
