‘MasterChef’ Host Gregg Wallace Attacks BBC Amid Reports He’s Been Fired After Misconduct Probe


Gregg Wallace has launched a furious attack on the BBC amid reports he has been fired from hosting 'MasterChef' UK over concerns about his conduct.

Wallace posted a five-slide statement on Instagram setting out his position after a nine-month investigation carried out by law firm Silkins on behalf of MasterChef producer Banijay UK. The inquiry was launched late last year after BBC News published initial allegations that Wallace made “inappropriate sexual comments” on five shows across a 17-year period. “The most damaging claims were found to be baseless after a full and forensic six-month investigation,” Wallace said, adding Silkins “finds me primarily guilty of inappropriate language between 2005 and 2018.” He “apologized without reservation” for this.
