Penny Lancaster says she is prepared to go to the 'authorities' over MasterChef's Gregg Wallace after he was suspended for 'sexualised behaviour' and accused of bullying


Penny is prepared to go to authorities to discuss what happened during cut scenes with MasterChef's Gregg Wallace after the host stepped down from the BBC show.

On one occasion he allegedly told a junior female colleague he wasn't wearing any boxer shorts under his jeans, is accused of wandering into the studio naked apart from a sock on his penis and mimicking a sex act on a producer when she knelt down to clean his trousers. In a statement to the PA news agency Banijay UK said: '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. His social media riposte came as it emerged his MasterChef co-host John Torode's wife Lisa Faulkner would think, 'I don't want to hear this', as he apparently delivered punchlines to crew of the BBC's flagship cookery show.
