It does raise uncomfortable questions. I've felt this a long time about long form interviews, they are less honest conversation and more polished PR half the time.

There are some serious issues the video raises, but I don't think they are automatic proof Steven Bartlett is knowingly trying to deceive his audience. I don't think he 'realizes his postcast is compromised' not least because I think he lacks the self awareness to realise such a thing and does not have that level of self reflection.
