Martin Bashir

He was a presenter on British and American television and for the BBC's Panorama programme, for which he gained an interview with Diana, Princess of Wales under false pretences in 1995. Although the interview was much heralded at the time, it was later determined that he used forgery and deception to gain it. Bashir worked for the BBC from 1986 to 1999 on programmes including Panorama before joining ITV. Read more on Wikipedia
