MasterChef's two decades of innuendos: As Gregg Wallace defends himself against 'inappropriate sexual comments' and John Torode comes under fire - is it time for the show to move on from the outlandish outbursts?


Gregg Wallace has come under fire this week for allegedly making 'inappropriate' jokes on his hit BBC show Masterchef.

Bosses at the corporation are said to have hauled Wallace, 59, into a meeting in 2018 following allegations of 'inappropriate sexual comments' and told him to 'change his behaviour', but innuendo-filled commentary has remained an integral part of the Masterchef brand for two decades. Torode's own wife Lisa Faulkner has spoken out on the jokes this week, admitting that during her time on the show she would think, 'I don't want to hear this', as Wallace delivered punchlines to crew members.
