…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…

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

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

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".

John Torode has always been the main star of Masterchef tbh, i also don't know why he isn't more involved with the professionals show alongside Marcus, Monica instead of Gregg (whom with all honesty is just a vegetable farmer, not an actual chef)


that said i always found Gregg more in his place in shows like How It's Made, or Eat Well for Less


in terms of Gregg's replacement, how about John's wife Lisa Faulkner for Celeb Masterchef, and for the civilian masterchef series Gino D'Acampo would be a decent choice i think (has already worked on another BBC show Ready Steady Cook as one of the chefs + he got more experience as a presenter now too)

20 years ago or so, people on TV were always given an unwarranted level of respect, just for appearing on the TV. Wallace is still judged under that criteria. These days, it's completely different

…I think that it’s actually more about the money, honey than anything…if the viewing figures and popularity have sustained then I think that sadly that’s what would have over-ruled and so maybe lots of placating or even warning words to Gregg …but a calming of complaints and situations etc…had it all been revealed when it should have and had any appropriate actions been implemented and ‘that boat been overturned’ when it should have been overturned because of what females were being subjected to…then there is such a risk of a fast descent in popularity…but these things obviously can’t be contained forever…but I think that money is sadly always the deciding factor….

Agree with this.

His ghost writer said in the interview that she wasnt a 'middle class woman of a certain age' when she did Wallaces book but she is now. She thought that she couldn't speak out when she was younger and new to the busniness.
