The BBC have removed planned repeats of Ashley Cain's Into The Danger Zone after misogynistic tweets resurfaced.
The broadcaster said they were taking 'allegations seriously' after a new investigation revealed historic tweets on Ashley's online platform calling women 's**gs', 's**ts' and 'psychos'.
The Guardian revealed the series of tweets in which he refers to women in abusive terms, making jokes about hitting women and degrading sexual practices.
He also sent female users abusive messages with offensive sexualised language.
Following the investigation, the BBC swiftly pulled repeat episodes from series one of the documentary that had been due to air next week.
A BBC spokesperson told Daily Mail: 'We are very clear we expect the highest standards of behaviour from everyone who works with or for the BBC.
'When allegations are brought to our attention we take them seriously. We will consider this information carefully and do not intend to comment further at this stage.'

Ashley presented the BBC Three documentary series into the Danger Zone, which sees the star travel across the world to the most dangerous places and interview young men who live on the fringes of society.
The second series was filmed earlier this year but has not been scheduled for release at this stage.
The investigation revealed that in 2014, in response to a since-deleted tweet he claimed to be homophobic, he tweeted that one female user should 'go and choke on a c*** you s**t'.
To another female user in 2015 he wrote: 'The only thing that's desperate around here is your pictures with your s**t t*ts. Now suck a d***, and f*** off.'
The publication stated there were a dozen other similar posts. However on Wednesday night his X account was removed from the platform.
In 2015, Ashley was accused of recording Rachel Roftis, 33, during sex and sharing clips to Snapchat without her consent. He strongly denied this.
The pair met at a club in Bexleyheath before spending the night together in a hotel.
She told The Guardian she 'screamed' at Cain when she realised the footage had been shared and said the incident has 'massively affected her relationships with men. She doesn’t trust anybody really now.'
The Daily Mail has contacted Ashley's representatives for comment.
Ashley's career began as a winger in the Football League before he turned to reality television and high-profile charity fundraising.
Between 2014-2015 he appeared on MTV's Ex On The Beach, where he said: 'you can’t turn a h*e into a housewife'.
He also competed on Celebrity MasterChef in 2025, reaching the semi-final and also starred on Celebrity SAS: Who Dares Wins.
The BBC presenter, 35, has been celebrated for his appeal to young male audiences, but has a history of making abusive and misogynistic remarks about women online

More recently, he has stepped into investigative broadcasting, hosting the documentary series on BBC Three.
He had been praised by BBC executives for his 'exceptional' ability to connect with young men, and described him as 'what BBC Three is about'.
Ashley also pivoted his career toward extreme ultra-endurance challenges to fundraise for childhood cancer research after his daughter, Azaylia, tragically died at eight months old after battling a rare form of cancer.
Azaylia was diagnosed with acute myeloid leukaemia and had tumours on her lungs, stomach and kidneys.
She was given several rounds of chemotherapy and a bone marrow transplant at Birmingham Children's Hospital, but sadly died on April 24, 2021.
Following her death, Ashley and his partner Safiyya Vorajee, Azaylia's mother, split up, after Safiyya said the couple struggled with their grief and he started to drink 'quite a lot'.
The pair created the Azaylia Foundation in August 2021. It's dedicated to raising awareness, funding vital research, and providing memorable experiences for children battling cancer.
Ashley later said continuing this work is now his life goal, raising thousands with various endeavours such as a huge charity bike ride and gruelling endurance feats.
He said at the time: 'Exercise and doing this bike ride is something that has kept me here.
'Raising funds and doing these challenges has given me a purpose again. I feel like I am doing something.
'It is a way for me to release endorphins so I can just get through every day.'
Ashley went on to welcome son Aliyas with a new partner and a mystery woman in January 2024, who he later split from. He also welcomed a son called Atlas in November 2024.
