BBC journalist Martin Bashir under pressure over Princess Diana interview | ITV News

The TV graphic designer who was asked to create fake bank statements to help secure an interview with Princess Diana, has claimed he was made a “fall guy” by the BBC.

Matt Wiessler has broken his silence and spoken to television cameras for the first time – 25 years after the Panorama programme was first broadcast.

In 1995, Mr Wiessler was asked by the then Panorama journalist Martin Bashir, currently the BBC’s Religion Editor, to urgently make some mocked-up bank statements.
