BBC to decide on future of Ross
Jonathan Ross will learn whether he can return to his job as a BBC presenter when the corporation's governing body responds to the Andrew Sachs row.
The BBC Trust will publish its findings about the obscene phone calls to the Fawlty Towers actor broadcast on Russell Brand's Radio 2 show last month.
Brand has already quit the BBC for his part in the affair and Ross is currently suspended without pay for three months.
BBC management will also release its report into the incident, which led to 42,000 complaints and the resignation of Radio 2's well-respected controller.
Ross is widely predicted to keep his £6 million-a-year job after the BBC Trust issued a statement on Tuesday saying the decision to suspend him without pay was an "appropriate sanction".
The controversy centres on messages the two presenters left on Sachs's answerphone claiming Brand had slept with the 78-year-old actor's granddaughter, Georgina Baillie, 23.
Extracts were aired during Brand's Saturday night radio show on October 18.
The flamboyant comedian made a light-hearted apology to Sachs the following week but added: "It was quite funny."
As the furore about the phone calls grew, Brand resigned along with Radio 2 boss Lesley Douglas and David Barber, the station's head of specialist music and compliance.
BBC director-general Mark Thompson described the incident as a "gross lapse of taste".
