Overview

• Gregg Wallace was removed from his MasterChef hosting role on July 8 after a six-month external investigation by law firm Lewis Silkin, commissioned by Banijay UK, concluded.
• BBC News has since revealed more than 50 claimants detailing inappropriate sexual remarks, incidents of groping or involuntary exposure.
• Wallace said in an Instagram post that the inquiry cleared him of the most serious accusations, finding only instances of inappropriate language from 2005 to 2018.
• He accused BBC News of running "uncorroborated tittle-tattle" and criticised plans to release only an executive summary of the over-200-page Silkin report.
• Both the BBC and Banijay UK have declined further comment until the report’s executive summary is published later this week.
