MasterChef viewers have been left shocked by the airing of a poorly timed quip about Gregg Wallace.
The MasterChef presenter, 60, has appeared on the show since it began 20 years ago however
this week it was announced he’d stepped down after the BBC revealed
it was investigating historical allegations of misconduct against him.
Wallace has been accused by 13 people
who have worked with him over the years of making inappropriate sexual comments
while three women have also claimed he groped them in different incidents on
and off set.
Banijay UK, the producers of MasterChef, previously
said Wallace was ‘committed to fully cooperating’ with the external review
while his lawyers strongly denied ‘he engages in behaviour of a sexually
harassing nature’.
