The food writer, who regularly appears on the BBC show, said he's 'speaking from his own experience' after 13 people, including Newsnight host Kirsty Wark, accused Gregg of 'wrong' and inappropriate 'sexualised' behaviour during filming. Dent, 51, will judge the upcoming 20th series of Celebrity MasterChef following news last month that Gregg Wallace will step away from the role amid an external review into historical allegations of misconduct. Wallace has faced a series of complaints about his alleged behaviour, including claims he made inappropriate sexual jokes, shared intimate details of his sex life and even walked around set naked except for a penis on his sock.
