Watch the moment Gregg Wallace tells female MasterChef contestant he would 'smash the living daylights out of that' pudding - as he steps down from show amid misconduct probe


The TV star, 60, quit the BBC One cooking show on Thursday while an investigation into inappropriate behaviour is carried out by TV chiefs.

Gregg is also accused 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. 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. 'Whilst these complainants have not raised the allegations directly with our show producers or parent company Banijay UK, we feel that it is appropriate to conduct an immediate, external review to fully and impartially investigate.
