November 28th 2024.
Renowned musician Sir Rod Stewart recently expressed his strong disapproval towards TV personality Gregg Wallace. In a scathing Instagram post, Sir Rod didn't hold back in his criticism towards Wallace for his departure from the popular cooking show, Masterchef. It was earlier announced that the BBC was investigating historic allegations of misconduct against Wallace, leading to his decision to step down from the franchise.
In his post, Sir Rod, who is set to perform at next year's Glastonbury festival, referred to Wallace as a "tubby, bald-headed, ill-mannered bully." He also mentioned how Wallace had humiliated his wife, Penny Lancaster, during her appearance on the show. Lancaster had participated in Masterchef Celebrity in 2021 and had made it to the semi-finals before being eliminated.
It seems that there were underlying tensions between Wallace and Lancaster during the show, despite her positive demeanor during her exit. This was further evidenced by Sir Rod's accusations, which also highlighted Wallace's complaints about Lancaster's timekeeping abilities. It was clear that Sir Rod's post was fueled by genuine anger and resentment towards Wallace.
Apart from the personal insults, Sir Rod's post also misspelled Wallace's name, which is known to be a sensitive issue for the TV personality. This adds to the already heated exchange between the two.
Wallace's departure from Masterchef comes after 13 people came forward with allegations of inappropriate sexual comments made by the presenter. This includes former Newsnight host Kirsty Wark, who competed on Celebrity Masterchef in 2011. The BBC released a statement addressing the allegations, stating that they take such issues seriously and have strict protocols in place to deal with them.
It was also revealed that Wallace's contract was directly with an external production company, and the BBC would be sharing any complaints or concerns with them. They also assured their full support in addressing the issue.
