Stephen Merchant makes VERY cheeky joke about Gregg Wallace during Gavin & Stacey star Rob Brydon's festive live show


Stephen Merchant made a cheeky joke about MasterChef star Gregg Wallace amid his sexual misconduct investigation during Gavin & Stacey star Rob Brydon's festive live show on Monday night.

Gregg set up his own fruit and vegetable business - earning himself the nickname 'Gregg the Veg' from friends - in 1989 and supplied restaurants including Quaglinos, where young Aussie chef John was working. Other allegations include talking openly about his sex life on set, with details of intimate acts, flirting with crew members and asking younger female colleagues for their numbers. Gregg is accused of mimicking a sex act in front of a member of the show's production staff who was kneeling down to clean his trousers during filming, according to the lurid and so-far unsubstantiated allegations.
