BBC Addresses Misconduct Allegations Against MasterChef Host Gregg Wallace

The broadcaster pledges to uphold its values while supporting an external investigation into claims of inappropriate behavior.

The BBC has expressed its commitment to maintaining a respectful and inclusive workplace following allegations against MasterChef host Gregg Wallace.
Director-General Tim Davie and Chief Content Officer Charlotte Moore reassured staff that concerns about inappropriate behavior will be taken seriously and investigated through established procedures.
Wallace has stepped back from his role on MasterChef as Banijay UK, the production company behind the show, conducts its investigation into the allegations.
The BBC has removed two MasterChef holiday specials from its December schedule as the inquiry continues.
Criticism has been directed at the BBC for not launching its own investigation into allegations tied to programs directly under its oversight, including claims from past productions like Strictly Come Dancing and Inside the Factory.
