Ghostwriter of Gregg Wallace accuses him of sexual harassment in his car through 'thigh rubbing'.

Gregg Wallace, the popular presenter of MasterChef, has recently been accused of sexual harassment by Shannon Kyle, a ghostwriter who worked on his 2012 autobiography. In her claims, Kyle alleged that Wallace touched her inappropriately and made her feel uncomfortable during their time working together.

According to Kyle, one incident occurred during a television appearance when Wallace touched her bottom. She also claimed that he would give her a "thigh rub" every time he changed gears in his sports car, and that he dropped his towel in front of her at his home. However, Wallace has denied all of these allegations, stating through his lawyers that he has never engaged in such behavior.

The news of these accusations comes after complaints were made against Wallace by individuals in relation to historical allegations of misconduct. As a result, Banijay UK, the production company behind MasterChef, announced that Wallace would be stepping away from his role on the show while an external review takes place. Wallace has stated that he is fully committed to cooperating with the investigation.

These claims have also sparked conversation around Wallace's co-presenter, John Torode. Torode, who has been a part of MasterChef since 2005, has publicly expressed his support for the show and stated that he loves being a part of it. He also addressed the recent reports, saying that the thought of anyone having a negative experience on the show is upsetting to hear.

Meanwhile, Wallace has faced more allegations from other individuals, with claims ranging from touching to inappropriate behavior on set. The BBC has taken these allegations seriously and has removed certain episodes from their schedule while the investigation is ongoing. Wallace has apologized for his initial response to the accusations and has stated that he will be taking some time away from the spotlight.

The BBC has made it clear that they have a zero-tolerance policy for any behavior that falls below their standards, and they are currently conducting an external review to ensure that appropriate action is taken. As of now, the current series of MasterChef: The Professionals will continue to air as planned.
