Gregg Wallace quits Masterchef amid misconduct probe
Gregg Wallace has stepped away from his role on BBC One's MasterChef after the broadcaster received complaints from individuals about historical allegations of misconduct
A statement released by Banijay UK to PA news agency outlines that although complaints have been made to the BBC rather than directly to the production company, an external review will be conducted: "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."
