IGNORING a colleague when they say hello breaks employment law, a tribunal has ruled.

The judgment came in the case of a recruitment manager, who has won an unfair dismissal claim after her new boss deliberately ignored her.

Nadine Hanson said hello to Andrew Gilchrist three times when she arrived for work but he purposely did not respond on any occasion, the tribunal heard.

And Judge Sarah Davies said his behaviour undermined trust.

She added: “While it might not, by itself, be a fundamental breach of contract, it was capable of contributing to such a breach.”

Mr Gilchrist, 62, had just taken over as MD of Interaction Recruitment, which has 30 offices.

After a brief meeting, he was said to have formed a poor opinion of northern operations manager Ms Hanson, with the firm 20 years.

And when he turned up at the Scunthorpe office a few days later, he ignored her greetings because he thought she was late.

He then pushed away her phone when she tried to show him she had a medical appointment and “suggested she leave” the company.

Within an hour, he sent an email to her two staff offering them pay rises without telling her.

The following month, Ms Hanson resigned.

Now, the tribunal in Leeds has concluded her dismissal was unfair.

Compensation will be decided at a later hearing.

MRS Brown’s Boys star Brendan O’Carroll cracked a “joke” using the N-word in front of a junior member of production who was so upset they later quit.

Brendan, 69, who plays Irish matriarch Agnes, improvised on a read-through of the Christmas special script, referring to “calling a spade a spade”.

He was stopped from saying the final syllable of the offensive word by his wife, Jennifer Gibney, who plays his daughter, Cathy on the show.

The BBC temporarily halted filming of the Christmas special, and the creator of Mrs Brown’s Boys has since apologised for making the attempted gag, admitting it had backfired.

A TV insider said: “Virtually everyone in the room on the day that the outburst happened were shocked, but the reading continued for some time without anyone saying or doing anything as they were so stunned.

“One member of the production team in particular was upset by what came out of his mouth and it was quickly reported to the bosses.

“There was no excuses for what he said or any kind of context or mitigation he could provide for making the slur, he just seemed to think it was amusing.”

An urgent probe was ordered by the BBC and rehearsals for the festive show were temporarily suspended and the cast and crew stood down.

But filming is due to resume later this week at BBC Scotland’s Pacific Quay studios in Glasgow.

Brendan yesterday admitted: “At a read-through of the Mrs Brown’s Boys Christmas specials, there was a clumsy attempt at a joke, where a racial term was implied.

“It backfired and caused offence, which I deeply regret and for which I have apologised.”

The corporation added: “While we don’t comment on individuals, the BBC is against all forms of racism and we have robust processes in place should issues ever arise.”

It’s particularly difficult for the Beeb since Mrs Brown’s Boys remains one of their most popular shows, and in their top most-watched sitcoms.

The festive specials, in particular, have become staples of BBC One’s schedules on Christmas Day, with millions still tuning in.

Mrs Brown’s Boys been on our screens since 2011 and has won the National Television Award for Best Comedy for the last six years in a row, constantly beating off competition from new, trendier rivals.

But it hasn’t always been so popular with BBC bosses, including the corporation’s current head of comedy Jon Petrie.

He was recently asked at a Beeb event whether he found the Dublin-based comedy funny or if he would watch it if he didn’t have to, and he turned down the chance to say he did.

After the gaffe he quickly issued a statement saying: “Brendan has created an iconic comedy character in Agnes Brown. Mrs Brown’s Boys is a Bafta-winning comedy show and one of the BBC’s most-watched comedies ever.

“I’m proud to have it in the BBC Comedy stable.”

Emily is starring in Rivals as a character called Sarah Stratton, who is known to use her beauty to her advantage.

She previously made her first red carpet return after the birth of her son while attending another screening for Rivals in September.

This time Dr Alistair came with her and posed up next to the blonde beauty with an affectionate arm around her waist.

Emily looked gorgeous in her fur-lined dress, which she paired with matching black heels.

By contrast, her nuclear scientist partner wore a grey tuxedo.

Rivals is set in the fictional county of Rutshire and the plot is said to be packed full of raunchy drama and shady deals among a group of socialites.

The drama was adapted from Dame Jilly Cooper’s best-selling book with the same name.

It will follow the lives of British elite in the 80s who are working in television over the course of eight episodes.

Disney+ bosses have confirmed that the entire show will become available to stream on the platform from Friday, October 18.

The cast includes other A-list actors such as David Tennant, Luke Pasqualino, Danny Dyer, Alex Hassell, Katherine Parkinson, Aidan Turner, Bella Maclean, Nafessa Williams and Victoria Smurfit.

The Sun previously revealed that Emily will strip off in her role as Sarah.

One scene will see Emily bare all as Sarah plays a naked game of tennis.
