Gregg Wallace reveals he stopped socialising with young people after being disciplined by BBC in 2018 because he was 'scared they would complain about him'


The 60-year-old MasterChef star stepped down from the programme five months ago while complaints from 13 women about historical allegations of misconduct were investigated.

It's now almost three months since the greengrocer-turned-television star's career spectacularly derailed amid a flurry of claims of inappropriate behaviour during his 19-year stint as co-host of MasterChef. It later emerged that 13 individuals, including Newsnight presenter Kirsty Wark, had reportedly accused him of 'wrong' and 'sexualised' behaviour during filming across a range of shows over a 17-year period. Three days after the announcement, the presenter landed himself in more trouble when he declared that his accusers were 'middle-class women of a certain age' and claimed that 'absolutely none' of the staff on his other shows had complained about him.
