Gregg Wallace Faces Misconduct Allegations and Steps Down from MasterChef

The TV presenter is under investigation following multiple complaints of inappropriate behavior spanning nearly two decades.

Gregg Wallace has stepped down from hosting MasterChef as production company Banijay UK investigates historical misconduct allegations.
Over 20 individuals have come forward with accusations, including inappropriate sexual comments, lewd behavior, and offensive jokes during his time on various TV productions.
Specific claims include making sexualized remarks, showing inappropriate photos, and creating uncomfortable environments for colleagues on shows like MasterChef and Gregg Wallace’s Big Weekends.
Wallace’s lawyers have denied the allegations, stating he has not engaged in behavior constituting sexual harassment, while the presenter has pledged full cooperation with the investigation.
The BBC and Channel 5, along with their production partners, are conducting external reviews, and Wallace has been dropped as an ambassador by the charity Ambitious About Autism.
