Sacked Masterchef star Gregg Wallace vows 'I will not go quietly' and accuses the BBC of 'uncorroborated tittle-tattle' as 50 more sexual misconduct allegations come to light


The TV presenter condemned the corporation yesterday, saying he had been cleared of 'the most serious and sensational accusations'.

But last night BBC News reported that 50 more people had made fresh claims against him – including allegations he groped one MasterChef worker and pulled his trousers down in front of another. Ahead of the release of the independent report, which was conducted by law firm Lewis Silkin on behalf of production company Banijay UK, Wallace wrote on social media: 'After 21 years of loyal service to the BBC, I cannot sit in silence while my reputation is further damned to protect others.' The former greengrocer added that 'the most damaging claims (including allegations from public figures which have not been upheld) were found to be baseless after a full and forensic six-month investigation'.
