Gregg Wallace appears to stare at Penny Lancaster's chest on Celebrity Catchphrase - two years before he was accused of bullying Sir Rod Stewart's wife on MasterChef


The show aired in 2019, two years before the model, 53, appeared on Celebrity MasterChef where she was left in floods of tears by the host's behaviour.

Gregg is also accused 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. In a statement to the PA news agency Banijay UK said: 'This week the BBC received complaints from individuals in relation to historical allegations of misconduct while working with presenter Gregg Wallace on one of our shows. 'Whilst these complainants have not raised the allegations directly with our show producers or parent company Banijay UK, we feel that it is appropriate to conduct an immediate, external review to fully and impartially investigate.
