UK Presenter Gregg Wallace “Considered Suicide, Following Tidal Wave Of Abuse” After Behavior Complaints


The UK presenter stood down from hosting the BBC cookery show in November 2024.

Since then, further claims of “groping” and “touching” have emerged, all of which Wallace has strenuously denied, adding that he had phoned several co-presenters and guests who had supported his version of events.

When he stood down while the BBC investigated the claims, Wallace arguably made things worse for himself by posting a video on social media, in which he said “the allegations came from ‘a handful of middle-class women of a certain age.”
