The next page in this ongoing saga reveals more shocking allegations against celebrity chef, Gregg Wallace. It seems that Wallace has been accused of a variety of wrongdoings, including racism, sexual harassment, and bullying, by none other than Dr. Kate Tomas, the ex-girlfriend of actor Andrew Garfield.
Dr. Kate, who was a contestant on the popular BBC cooking show MasterChef back in 2008, recently spoke out about her traumatic experiences on the show. She claims that she was "re-triggered" when it was announced that an investigation was being launched into Wallace's past behavior.
According to Dr. Kate, Wallace has been accused by 13 former colleagues, including well-known journalist Kirsty Wark, of making inappropriate sexual comments. As a result, he has stepped away from his role on MasterChef while the complaints are being investigated. In addition, Dr. Kate posted a video on TikTok where she described Wallace as a "racist piece of s**t" for impersonating an Indian accent in front of an Indian co-worker.
But the accusations don't stop there. Dr. Kate also claims that Wallace bullied her for wearing sindoor, a traditional Indian symbol of marriage. As someone who was married to an Indian man at the time, Dr. Kate felt that this was part of her family's tradition. She also accused Wallace of being a "sexual harasser" and described him as "disgusting and repulsive."
It's clear that Dr. Kate harbors a deep hatred for Wallace, as she refused to return to MasterChef when she was invited back because of him. She also complained about his behavior at the time, but nothing was done. Now, she joins the growing list of women who have come forward with similar allegations.
Among those who have spoken out against Wallace is Sir Rod Stewart, who accused him of "humiliating" his wife, Penny Lancaster, during her appearance on Celebrity MasterChef. This is just one of many complaints, with others claiming that Wallace mimicked a sex act, walked around naked, and made inappropriate jokes.
Wallace's lawyers have denied all of these allegations, stating that it is "entirely false" that he engages in sexually harassing behavior. However, the production company behind MasterChef, Banijay UK, has launched an external review and Wallace has stated that he is willing to cooperate fully.
Wallace has been a staple on MasterChef since 2005, co-presenting with John Torode. He has also appeared on the show's spin-offs, Celebrity MasterChef and MasterChef: The Professionals. In 2022, he was awarded an MBE for his contributions to food and charity.
Metro reached out to Wallace's representatives and the BBC for comment, but has yet to receive a response. It seems that this scandal is far from over, and more details are sure to emerge as the investigation continues.
