'There are so many things that are painful and difficult to listen to': Melanie Sykes speaks out after claiming MasterChef's Gregg Wallace was the reason she quit TV


Melanie Sykes has broken her silence amid the ongoing Gregg Wallace row and his sexual misconduct investigation.

Gregg set up his own fruit and vegetable business - earning himself the nickname 'Gregg the Veg' from friends - in 1989 and supplied restaurants including Quaglinos, where young Aussie chef John was working. Other allegations include talking openly about his sex life on set, with details of intimate acts, flirting with crew members and asking younger female colleagues for their numbers. Gregg is accused of mimicking a sex act in front of a member of the show's production staff who was kneeling down to clean his trousers during filming, according to the lurid and so-far unsubstantiated allegations.
