In a letter of dismissal, Claire Powell, head of compliance for BBC content, told Wallace that the UK national broadcaster does not “have the confidence that you can change what seems to be learned behaviour.” Banijay UK, the producer behind MasterChef, engaged Lewis Silkin to conduct the investigation last November following claims Wallace made lewd and inappropriate remarks on set.
