Overview

  • Banijay UK commissioned law firm Lewis Silkin for a six-month probe that grew from an initial 13 complaints to more than 50 allegations.
  • BBC News reported that fresh claims include allegations of inappropriate sexual comments and instances of groping and exposing behavior.
  • In an Instagram statement, Wallace said the Silkin review cleared him of the most serious accusations but found he used inappropriate language between 2005 and 2018.
  • Wallace accused the BBC of running “uncorroborated tittle-tattle” and demanded release of the full 200-page report.
  • Both Banijay UK and the BBC have declined further comment until the executive summary of the findings is published.
