Gregg Wallace is told middle-class women of a certain age are 'fierce as f**k, with long memories' in scathing post from Anita Rani, 47, after MasterChef star blamed them for his suspension from BBC show


Wallace is under investigation by the BBC after 13 women accused the presenter of inappropriate behind-the-scenes conduct.

It came as Sir Keir Starmer said Wallace was 'completely inappropriate and misogynistic' for blaming 'middle class women of a certain' age for his MasterChef ruination amid growing pressure on the BBC to take the show off air. But his posts caused outrage and were branded 'shocking' and laced with 'thinly veiled misogyny' - and did not touch on the sexual allegations made by numerous MasterChef celebrities, producers and contestants on the show he left last week. The Sunday Times yesterday reported that BBC executive Kate Phillips raised concerns Wallace's behaviour was 'unacceptable and cannot continue' after broadcaster and former Celebrity MasterChef contestant Aasmah Mir complained about inappropriate comments during filming.
