Gregg Wallace, the 59-year-old judge on MasterChef, has been facing some serious allegations lately. Reports have surfaced claiming that he made inappropriate sexual comments and even took his top off in front of a female staff member at the BBC. These accusations have put his future on the popular cooking show in doubt. However, this is not the first time Wallace has been accused of inappropriate behavior towards women.
Last year, there were reports of him being rude and insulting to women on a different program. This is just one of the many scandals that have rocked the BBC recently, including the firing of Jermaine Jenas and allegations against pro stars on Strictly Come Dancing. There are now questions being raised about why the BBC has allowed Wallace to continue on MasterChef despite these previous incidents. Some are saying that it goes against the BBC's efforts to address workplace culture issues.
The incident in question reportedly took place in 2018 on the game show Impossible Celebrities. It was only recently brought to light by an insider, who claims that Wallace made inappropriate comments to a younger female member of the production team. He is said to have been bragging about his sex life with his partner at the time, and even took his top off in front of the woman. The insider also alleges that Wallace thought it was all just harmless banter and even made some inappropriate comments in front of a live audience.
The team working on the show were reportedly mortified by Wallace's behavior and immediately reported it to BBC bosses. The BBC took swift action and ordered Wallace to change his behavior. However, some are questioning why he was allowed to remain on the show despite these allegations.
Wallace himself has not addressed the allegations, and when approached by The Sun for comment, he declined to do so. This is not the first time he has faced such accusations. Last year, he stepped back from presenting Inside the Factory after allegedly engaging in derogatory banter towards female staff. He claimed that he wanted to spend more time with his four-year-old son, but there were rumors that his behavior on set also played a role in his decision.
Wallace has since broken his silence on the matter, stating that there was an argument on the show but that the reporting was not accurate. He also mentioned that he thought it was a good time to step back from the show, as he needed to help his mother with his son and was constantly traveling for the show. However, some sources claim that his behavior towards women on the show was a contributing factor to his decision.
It seems that Wallace's behavior has caused discomfort among staff and even led to some refusing to participate in the show if he were to return as the host. Nestle, the company featured on the show, has expressed their disappointment in Wallace's behavior and stated that they would be open to participating in future episodes with a different host. The BBC and Wallace's representative have yet to comment on the situation. If you have any information about this story, please contact us. We would love to hear from you.
