These days, it seems the Beeb is better at being the news than making it. Now the co-host of BBC MasterChef, Greg Wallace, is on the Sun’s front page, after it emerged that broadcasting bosses had investigated the TV star over alleged inappropriate sexual comments made to a female member of staff.
It transpires that in 2018, BBC chiefs met with Wallace after complaints were logged by a team left ‘mortified’ by his behaviour while working on the game show Impossible Celebrities. Wallace was accused of ‘taking his top off’ in front of a female production worker, after ‘boasting about his sex life’, according to a source – who also stated that ‘Gregg appeared to think it was all just banter’. Good heavens.
The revelations have prompted the MasterChef presenter to defend himself on social media. Posting a video Instagram story this morning, the TV personality insisted:
The allegations were investigated by the BBC six years ago, and my comments were found to be not sexual.
