Gregg has been accused of taking off his shirt in front of a female worker, saying he wanted to “give her a fashion show” and discuss his sex life with others.
On one occasion he allegedly told a junior colleague that he was not wearing underwear under his jeans.
The BBC has revealed that 13 people, including Kirsty Wark, complained about his conduct while working with him over a 17-year period on five shows from 2005 to 2022.
Walk claims that on two occasions Wallace told stories and jokes of a “sexualized nature” in front of contestants and crew while filming Celebrity MasterChef in 2011. He said his jokes and comments were “really, really misplaced.”
“There were two times in particular where he used sexualized language in front of multiple people and it wasn’t like anyone was engaging in it. It was completely one-way traffic. But I think people felt uncomfortable and it was something that they really didn’t I expected it to happen,’ he said.
Today, Scottish broadcaster Aasmah Mir shared a photo of herself during the 2017 Celebrity MasterChef series with the cryptic message: “Always keep your receipts.” It is not yet known if she has also complained.
The BBC claims that Wallace left MasterChef today after BBC News sent a letter to his agent on Tuesday, setting out allegations from 13 people and giving him the right to reply. They say he was warned after a complaint was made in 2018, but during the summer of 2024 new historic claims emerged.
