The Location, Location, Location star took to X, formerly known as Twitter, today to speak out about the allegations, after Wallace said the complaints made against him came from 'middle-class women of a certain age' in a rant on his Instagram page.
Using the hashtag #MiddleClassWomanOfaCertainAge, Allsopp said: 'Within 1hr of meeting Gregg Wallace he told me of a sex act that he and his partner at the time enjoyed 'every morning', she'd just left the room, we were filming a pilot.
'Did he get off on how embarrassed I was? It was totally unprofessional.'
Allsopp received some backlash in the comments, with some social media users defending Wallace, while others questioned why she didn't speak up at the time.
Responding, Allsopp wrote: 'Do you think this all a bit unfair on Gregg? If so find your wife/GF/Sister/Mum and ask if they think it's OK for you/their partner to make a comment about your bedroom activities to a woman you/they have just met at work.'

Why say nothing? Because you feel, in no particular order, embarrassed, a
prude, shocked, waiting for a male colleague to call him out, not wanting to
“rock the boat”, thinking it’s better to plough on with the day, assuming you
misheard/misunderstood or just don’t get the joke.
