UK Culture Secretary “Prepared To Take Further Action” If TV Industry Fails To Get Grip On Bad Behavior Following Gregg Wallace Allegations

Lisa Nandy has talked Gregg Wallace allegations, 'MasterChef' producer Banijay UK and the BBC in front of the Culture Media Sport Committee.

“CIISA think it is better if the industry grips this but if they don’t I will be prepared to take further action,” Nandy told the Culture, Media & Sport Committee (CMSC) this afternoon. Wallace’s lawyers deny he engaged in behavior of a “sexually harassing nature.” He is just the latest BBC talent to have been accused of misbehavior, following the likes of Jermaine Jenas, Huw Edwards and two ex- Strictly Come Dancing pros. Plans for the body were unveiled several years back by Time’s Up UK but it is yet to open its anonymous reporting line as it seeks more funds.
