Sir Rod Stewart has recently made some harsh comments towards Masterchef judge Gregg Wallace, following his wife Penny Lancaster's appearance on the show three years ago. Lancaster was eliminated from the Celebrity MasterChef kitchen in 2021 due to concerns about her time management by judges Wallace and John Torode.
The incident has resurfaced now as Wallace steps down from the show due to an investigation into allegations of historical misconduct by producer Banijay. In a scathing post on Instagram, the 79-year-old music icon referred to Wallace as a "tubby, bald-headed, ill-mannered bully" and even suggested that karma has caught up with him.
During the episode in question, Lancaster was competing against reality star Megan McKenna and TV presenter Melanie Sykes for a spot in the semi-finals. However, she ran over her allotted time while preparing her butternut squash ravioli dish, resulting in tears and frustration from both Penny and the judges.
Despite receiving praise from guest judges and past MasterChef winners, Penny was ultimately sent home. This did not sit well with her husband, who has now publicly criticized Wallace for his behavior towards his wife during her time on the show.
Penny has since spoken out about her experience, admitting that the pressure of the competition got the best of her and caused her to run behind schedule. She also expressed her love for food and newfound appreciation for cooking, despite her elimination from the show.
