i don't know how much masterchef is scripted, but he must have practiced many of those lines that caused offense to contestants, which is pretty weird. The production company obviously thought what he was saying was absolutely fine as they filmed it

[GiRTh]

The rest is entertainment and News Agent podcast explained this really well.

To summarise, most of the very strong stuff probably would not have made the final cut so Gregg, if he didn't watch the final edited show and saw how much was cut, probably thought his "saucy humour" was fine. You're right though, the show is heavily scripted.

I wonder how everyone would feel if Greg said "would you eat food off my cock?" to your wife/daughter/sister/mother...? Or while she was bending down at the oven thrust his hips toward her face? Would that be okay, just banter?

He has crossed the line of decency

BBC can not just say it is on Banijay
as they did bugger all about him.

Sack him.

Put in a new talent.
Loads can take his place

Any complaint would have gone to Banijay so its not the BBC's responsibility if Banijay ignore the complaint and let Wallace carry on with his 'Schtick'.

I'm really surprised that with so many complaints Banijay didn't at least conduct an investigation

I know that the “Greg Wallace” issue is ongoing but say that it all comes out that he has indeed been a sex fiend for all these years ..

Won’t his legal team face any consequences when they are putting out statements like this !!!?

His lawyers have said it's "entirely false that he engages in behaviour of a sexually harassing nature".

Yes they are protecting their brand or
something stupid like that.


It is a Massive Production Company


The BBC can remove him from
from that show.
It would be understandable

My mum would say....no thank you Gregg, I'm not on a diet.

I'm glad you have. Hasn't stopped you posting over and over again in Greg's defence.

Over and over in his defence!
Are you sure?

Way I see it I've highlighted women can be just as bad as Gregg. Sometimes worse if they are tv personalities.

And also the BBC should be the main topic of conversation on this story.

meh.

…I’m trying to fathom why she went on to work with him on his memoir book…?..why she didn’t stop the collaboration there and then…it’s all pretty Wow!!!!!!!, as you say and there is definitely a huge feel of power/control with it and enjoyment in how uncomfortable he can make a female feel….?…but the wow!!!!!!! Itself isn’t just his behaviour, is it…it extends to how well known his behaviour seemed to be…I mean, that’s being constantly said now by so many…oh yeah, Gregg Wallace…and yet he was allowed to continue…?..the value of females really is very low in this, isn’t it…it’s horrendous how well known it seems to have been but also allowed to continue…and so many women feeling totally exposed to it…

Honestly in a workplace setting even if you THINK you know someone well and that "sexual banter" isn't an issue, people need to be extremely careful that it's not been misread, and to be honest, just plain don't do it unless you're already in an actual relationship.

The number of men who think women are flirting with them just because they're being nice/friendly .

Women smiling at men seems to be another one too.

I guess the only way is to scowl at people. Seriously though...I never knew Greg Wallace was like that, sounds like it's over for him now.

[Cherie]

what I cannot get my head around and pardon me because I rarely watched Masterchef or its Celeb version but when I did, John Torode was the Star and Wallace was his side kick, what was it about him that made them keep him on for so long, its not like he is easy on the eye, or witty or funny, so I just dont get it at all....Helen Lederer did a piece where she said she went into Celebrity Masterchef thinking she would have a laugh with the hosts but having a laugh was saved for the male guests, she contrasted it to going on the Chase where Bradley Walsh treats everyone equally...its all so bizarre that they let him continue for so long
